Teacher Tasered, Pot Found in Mouth: Cops

Florida high school teacher busted for possession, resisting arrest

A Florida high school teacher may have bitten off more than he could chew when he was Tasered by cops and five bags of pot popped out of his mouth.

Bradley Gummow, a 33-year-old Polk County teacher, was arrested in Bartow Monday morning after a simple traffic stop turned into a bizarre drug bust, according to WTSP.com.

Cops pulled Gummow over around 11 a.m., and while they were interviewing him they noticed a plastic bag in his mouth.

When police asked him what was in his mouth, Gummow reportedly turned around and refused to cooperate.

That's when Gummow, an 11th and 12th grade teacher of International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement students at Bartow High, got Tasered.

Police say the stun gun jolt caused Gummow to spit out five small bags of marijuana, which weighed a total of 4.7 grams.

Gummow was charged with possession of marijuana, resisting an arrest without force or violence and violation of probation. He had already been on probation for reckless driving involving alcohol.
