GRAND JUNCTION — A Grand Junction man was behind bars Wednesday on suspicion of attempting to coerce his girlfriend into having sex by threatening to zap her with a stun gun.
Christopher Morgen Taylor, 30, turned on a Taser three times early Tuesday morning after his girlfriend refused to have sex with him, according to an arrest affidavit for Taylor.
Taylor’s girlfriend told police that Taylor turned the Taser on and said to her, “I don’t normally do this to anybody, but …”
His girlfriend said she told Taylor to turn off the Taser because it was “freaking her out,” and she uttered a profanity and left the room, the affidavit said. She told police she was scared her boyfriend was going to use the device on her.
Officers with the Grand Junction Police Department located a stun gun on Taylor’s bedroom nightstand after Taylor gave officers permission to search the house, the affidavit said.
Taylor was in custody at Mesa County Jail on a $60,000 bond on suspicion of first-degree sexual assault and unlawful use of a stun gun. Both are felonies.

Myers is accused of trying to convince a woman to get in his silver Crown Victoria by allegedly telling her that he would give her a ride home because she had had too much to drink, according to the arrest report.
Two firefighters noticed the woman and Myers and asked Myers if he was an officer, to which Myers allegedly said yes and gave a badge number but not his name.

The woman told police that Myers did threaten her with jail if she didn’t go with him.

Thirteen members of a high school lacrosse team have been disciplined for baring their bottoms on which was written a prom invitation from one player to a girl.
Carolyn Campbell, a senior at Huron High School, accepted the invitation to go to the prom with fellow senior Kristoff Wennersten.
The varsity lacrosse players displayed the question, “Will You Go To The Prom With Me? Yes or No?” on their bottoms, which they bared during a junior varsity game last Thursday.
Officials suspended the 13 players for an undetermined number of games and ordered them to perform 20 hours of community service. They also were suspended from school for one day.
“Inappropriate is inappropriate,” school athletic director Dottie Davis told The Ann Arbor News. “It disrespects women, and that’s the clear message we need to have the students understand — what may be fun to them isn’t necessarily fun to everyone else.”
Campbell accepted the invitation by patting the back of the player who displayed the word “Yes.”
“People get pretty creative with prom. Anyone who’s done anything has been pretty outlandish,” she said. “This is pretty epic, I would say. I didn’t think it would become this big of a deal.”
Wennersten said he understood the decision to discipline him and his teammates, adding, “I enjoyed every bit of it.”
