Deputy Robert Hoobler was terminated by Normand earlier this month after using his Taser on Leron Anderson at least three times.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand has terminated Deputy Robert Hoobler in connection with a tasing incident November. A former New Orleans police officer, Hoobler was credited with saving 12-year-old Dwayne Carter, known as Grammy award winning superstar Lil Wayne.
Hoobler picked up Anderson, 32, from his home Nov. 1 for violating a protective order that barred him from contact with the mother of one of his children. Anderson said Hoobler immediately began taunting him after he placed him in his patrol car. The two traded verbal barbs, with Hoobler allegedly calling Anderson a "stupid a-- n-----" and asking why he couldn't stay out of trouble.
