An Edmonton cop has been found guilty under the Police Act of using a Taser without lawful cause. City police Supt. Mark Logar, who presided over a disciplinary hearing into charges against Const. Andrew Hoglund, ruled this morning Hoglund lacked reasonable cause to deploy the device. Hoglund used the Taser on a man being arrested by two other constables outside a city bar Sept. 4, 2004. "The Taser was not appropriate or necessary," Logar said.
