The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that when police arrived, Mattert thought they'd use a Taser on him, so he hastily covered himself in paint and told officers that if they shot him with the stun gun, he'd die.
Officers told him the paint wouldn't affect the Taser's capability. According to police, Mattert scuffled with officers and was hit with a Taser twice before officers handcuffed him. He faces several criminal charges.

Police say the officers' uniforms had to be cleaned.

well my teacher told us a story, that when he was in high school a kid stripped down and covered himself in grease, so that when people tried to grab/stop him they couldnt hold on. In the end the cops tasered him and the oil caught on fire and the kid was burned kinda badly. If the paint was flamable he could have died.

Yeah, I feel like this just happened recently with paint. I don't know where I heard it though... Seemed like a fine plan to me...

maybe there was snow around him?? Can't be tasered if they can't see you
