BLOOMINGTON - Police used stun guns on five people during a weekend party that turned into a series of fights, but one man is disputing allegations he resisted police before he was hit with Taser probes.

"If I did what they said I did, my bond would be more than $100 and they would have charged me with more than resisting," Jermel Jackson, of Normal, told The Pantagraph on Wednesday.

Officers arrested one man on battery charges and five people on accusations they resisted police in a gathering that turned into a series of fights starting about 1 a.m. Sunday at the Elks Lodge, 110 N. Madison St. So far, formal charges have been filed only against one person.

Two officers and two party-goers suffered minor injuries. Officers reported hearing three gunshots outside the building and found bullet casings in a neighboring parking lot. No weapon was found.

The fights began during a woman's private birthday party that was expected to draw 75 people, police and lodge management said previously. But hundreds showed up and fights broke out after an organizer tried to tell party-goers it was time to go home, police said.

Initially, Bloomington Police said an officer drew a Taser to keep the crowd at bay while arresting a man accused of hitting another with a beer bottle.

On Wednesday, department spokesman Dave White said Jackson was one of five people shocked with Tasers and arrested for resisting police officers. Duane Moss, also a department spokesman, said the officer who stunned Jackson filed a report Wednesday that says the 22-year-old was seen fighting before he ran from an officer. The report says the officer saw Jackson get into a second fight and he refused an order to stop and came toward an officer.

At his home Wednesday evening, Jackson showed small circular marks on his left shoulder blade and left arm that he said were from the stun gun probes. He had a second set of lighter marks that were a few inches apart near the center of his back, which he said were also from the stun gun.

"If you Taser me walking toward you, I should have Taser marks on my chest or my legs," Jackson said. "They're on my back."

Asked about Jackson's description of what happened, Moss said, "He may have turned at the last second, I don't know." He said more details may be available Thursday.

Jackson's fiancé, NaShaun Howard, also of Normal, said she and Jackson were trying to gather people to leave when he was hit in the back with probes from a stun gun. She said Jackson fell and hit his face on pavement, and he had a swollen right upper lip and scuff marks on his right elbow Wednesday.

"When we were by the car, they Tased my man for no reason whatsoever," Howard said.

Jackson was taken by ambulance to OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, where Howard said he cleaned up before being taken to the jail. She paid $100 to have him released that night, she said.

Police said people at the party threatened and threw bottles at two officers who tried to arrest James Johnson, 30, who since has been charged with two counts of aggravated battery in that attack. Johnson, of the 2400 block of East Washington Street, is the only person who faces formal criminal charges so far.

Howard said she and Jackson, also of Normal, were trying to gather people to leave when he was hit in the back with probes fired from a stun gun. He fell and hit his face on pavement. She said he was standing by her car and she did not hear an officer say anything to him before the device was used.

Howard said she was having a good time until a disc jockey said it was time to leave, and people were headed for the door as the lights went out. After moving to the parking lot, she heard shots and party-goers took cover or ran, she said.

Howard said she saw at least four people being shocked with Tasers. One of those was the guest of honor for the birthday party, she said.

White previously said the woman refused to stay in a vehicle, insisting police didn't have a right to detain her and wrestling with officers. The woman, who did not face criminal charges by Wednesday, was in one of two vehicles close to the bullet casings found in the parking lot. Officers detained people in those cars in case one of them fired the shots, he said.

Officers from five state, county and local agencies were called to help Bloomington police. White previously said the initial fight spawned smaller fights inside the lodge and the parking lot.
