FOREST ACRES, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina police officer has
been fired and faces a criminal charge after authorities say he
used his department-issued Taser to attack his older brother.

Kershaw County deputies say 35-year-old Brian Adams has been
charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.

Authorities say Adams' brother came to the officer's home in
Lugoff to pick up his four kids Tuesday when the brothers started
arguing and Adams fired his Taser while the children watched

Forest Acres Police Chief Gene Sealy says Adams was fired
Wednesday after working for the force since 2000.

A number for Adams was not published and a message left at the
Kershaw County jail was not immediately returned.
