12-6-2006- YULEE, Fla. -- A Fernandina Beach police officer was arrested on Tuesday after allegedly pulling his gun and firing a Taser gun at a Nassau County detention deputy.
According to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office, officer Henry Neil Lee found out his wife had invited the corrections deputy Corey Wilson to Lee's Hilliard home to meet a female friend. When the female friend didn't show up, Wilson stayed and watched television with Lee and talked, which led to a consensual physical encounter.
The sheriff's report says that Officer Lee became suspicious when his wife asked him to pick some items from the store before coming home, so he went to the house, looked in the window and saw them kissing.
Nassau Sheriff Tommy Seagraves said that when Lee's wife went to the bathroom with her daughter, Lee kicked in the front door and pointed his Taser gun at Wilson, swung at Wilson with his baton, then holstered the Taser gun and pulled his service revolver.
According to the report, Wilson begged Lee not to shoot him.
When his wife entered the room, Lee reholstered the gun and pulled out his Taser gun.
"Mrs. Lee tried to stop him," the report said. "Lee pulled her by the hair, then fired his Taser, striking Wilson."
Wilson was not hurt, left the house and went to the sheriff's office to tell them what happened. When deputies got there, Lee was waiting.
"He filled them in on exactly what happened," Seagraves said. "He did tell the officers he was sorry about the incident."
Lee was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault and domestic battery. He has since been released on $55,006 bond.
Wilson was placed on suspension while the sheriff's office investigates the incident.
