 A Lubbock man sues the city, saying a police officer used excessive force during a traffic stop.

It happened back in 2006 during a routine stop. Officer Marsh Blackmore used a taser on LJ McCallan and then arrested him. The use of that taser is why they're in court Tuesday. In this case, LJ McCallan wants a jury to prove he shouldn't have been tased and Officer Blackmore and the city of Lubbock should pay his medical bills.
