Argument over noodles might have led to Taser incident

Brian H. Sharpe, 27

Butler police said they Tasered a man last week after he scuffled with an officer during an altercation that apparently started with an argument over noodles.

Police said Brian H. Sharpe, 27, who has no known address, was arrested on a bench warrant after he was hit by the Taser and fell to the ground Thursday morning.

Multiple calls for a man screaming around 8:30 a.m. sent police to a home, where officers found him yelling in the backyard.

He was upset, according to charging documents, “that the other party had his noodles.”
