According to the Pickens County Sheriff's Office, Washington was charged with obstructing governmental operations, resisting arrest, marijuana possession, drug trafficking and possessing a firearm as an ex-felon.

In a statement, Reform police Chief Richard Black and Mayor Melody Davis said they were aware of the "citizen's arrest" and that the police officer has been placed on administrative leave.

An officer with the Reform Police Department is on administrative leave after she was caught on camera using a stun gun on a handcuffed man.

She claims that's when the officer in the video pulled up, eventually putting her boyfriend in handcuffs and stunning him with a stun gun.

The video, which has been shared and viewed thousands of times, shows the officer leading a handcuffed man, 24-year-old Micah Washington of Tuscaloosa, to her cruiser and pushing him against the hood during a Dec. 2 traffic stop.

The two exchange words, at which point the officer exclaims, "Oh yeah," before pressing the stun gun into the man's back and pulling the trigger.

"She Tased him in the back and she was holding it. She was just holding it there until he started crying," said Jalexis Rice, Washington's girlfriend.

Monday night, loved ones and community members gathered near Reform's city hall to protest the shocking arrest. They said they were pushing for accountability.
