Upon arrival, the deputy contacted several witnesses who reported a subject, later identified as 38-year-old Nicholas Alexander Sarkozy, started a verbal confrontation with the 44-year-old victim outside the bar and fired a taser at the victim striking him in the hand.  The victim sustained a puncture wound from one of the taser probes and was treated by medical personnel on scene and released.
