A man was tased and arrested following a disturbance in Wonder Valley Tuesday. According to Sergeant Randy Warfield, Herman Platzke Jr., had been bothering a woman who was staying with a friend in the 81200 block of Harley Lane Monday, and when he returned about 5 a.m. Tuesday, the resident called the Sheriff’s Department. When the deputy arrived, Platzke was inside an old trailer at the rear of the property. Warfield said as the deputy approached the trailer, Platzke came out in a hurry, and reached into his pocket. The deputy then tased Platzke. Herman Platzke Junior was arrested for investigation of possession of methamphetamine, and on two warrants for drugs, with his total bail set at $150,000. This Herman Platzke should not be confused with the older Herman Platzke who is active in community service.
