Robert Wayne Maurina

Less-than-lethal force

Robert Wayne Maurina was tasered by police at Aurora West Allis Medical Center when he allegedly resisted an attempt to get a sample of his blood. Maurina had gone to West Allis police station at around 4 a.m. to bail his girlfriend out of jail. Police suspected he was intoxicated and arrested him. After transporting him to a hospital to get blood drawn, Maurina allegedly fought with police and staff and was tasered so they could obtain his blood. Maurina was released just before noon on that same day. Maurina returned to his brother's home, complaining about pain in his chest and ribs. He was found dead in his bed the next morning.
