The weapons, called Tasers, will not replace revolvers, but will be used on some occasions to avoid injury or death to a person being arrested. An anonymous benefactor donated the money after he received a telephone call from the Very Rev. Father Charles Anastassiou, jail chaplain, Un- dersheriff Charles Wiley said. Wiley recommended buying the Tasers. He said the department has acquired four of the 10 weapons.

Six more are on order, and the department may purchase another one with funds from another source. The department will hold a class to demonstrate the new weapons in the next week or so, Wiley said. The Tasers will go into service following the classroom instruction. Wiley said he hopes the department will be able to avoid such fatal confrontations as the one where a mentally disturbed man pulled a knife in a Houston police department parking lot and was killed. The undersheriff said the Tasers would be distributed to mental health officers, jailers, warrant officer, crime squad agents and patrolmen.

"The idea," he said, "is to be able to subdue without killing. The use of the weapon is intended in cases where perhaps lethal force is not warranted. "However," Wiley said, "no system is comletely without risk. A person hit with Taser darts may fall and break a bone, for example. "Use of the Taser does not mean deputies will not have to use their pistols from time to time.

It does mean that the department does have another non- lethal tool in their arsenal to serve the citizens of this county." Wiley said the Galveston County Sheriff's Department was the first law enforcement agency in Galveston County to have the Taser devices, and perhaps is the first sheriff's department in Texas to have them. The Tasers look like a hump-backed flashlight and project a beam of light. When a firing stud is pressed, the device throws a pair of tiny darts trailing a fine filament of copper wire encased in plastic. The darts hit with 50,000 volts of electricity and stun the target, but the high voltage leaves the person unharmed because the shock has low amperage. The Taser gun has been in use for several years, and was adopted by various law enforcment agencies, such as the Los Angeles Police Department (whose officers still carry revolvers).

The two tiny wire-trailing darts fired with each of the Taser's two shots have a range of about 15 feet. The Taser also has an alternative method of shocking by using a pair of rods inserted into a firing chamber and used like a cattle prod.

Police took a Colt Python 357 magnum gun into custody following Willis' arrest.
