spent a night in jail after being Tasered and arrested at a q-and-a
session with John Kerry is now free.
Andrew Meyer was released this morning on his own recognizance.
He had no comment as he left the jail in Gainesville.
Video of last night's incident shows officers pulling Meyer away
from the microphone. He's later seen struggling on the ground and
yelling at the officers to release him, crying out, "Don't Tase
me, bro," just before he is Tasered.
Jail records show he was arrested on charges of resisting an
officer and disturbing the peace.
The university's president says he's asked state authorities to
investigate the arrest. Officials say the probe will determine
whether appropriate force was used. Two officers involved in the
incident have been placed on administrative leave.
Kerry, meanwhile, has issued a statement saying he regrets that
a healthy discussion was interrupted.
