GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Green Bay police had to use a Taser on a man overnight who refused to stop urinating outdoors.

It happened around 2:30 a.m. on the Walnut Street Bridge.

Police say the man, when confronted by officers, ran under the bridge and ended up in the water up to his knees. He then hung onto a cable and told authorities he wouldn't give up.

The Green Bay Metro Fire Department brought in a rescue boat, and when authorities reached the man, he still refused to give up. So cops decided to taze him.

The 25-year-old man was treated and released from a local hospital. He was cited and is facing a couple charges.

The Walnut Street Bridge was closed for about 10 minutes during the incident.
