GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A University of Florida student was dragged away by police and tasered during a town hall meeting with U.S. Sen. John Kerry. Related Content: Video





Andrew Meyer, of Weston, approached an open microphone at the University Auditorium on campus and began asking Kerry several questions, including why he didn't contest the 2004 election results and why President George W. Bush hasn't been impeached.

When officers tried to physically remove Meyer from the auditorium, he began yelling.

Several officers pushed him to the ground, and threatened to use a taser on him. After a scuffle on the ground, Meyer was tasered and handcuffed.

Meyer was charged with disrupting a public event and placed in the Alachua County Jail.
