State of emergency declared in Pa. town amid police stun gun probe

(CBS/AP) COLWYN, Pa. - The mayor of a suburban Philadelphia borough has declared a state of emergency after three officers were suspended in the fallout over the alleged use of a stun gun on a handcuffed teenage suspect.

Colwyn Mayor Daniel Rutland says he decided late Wednesday to declare a state of emergency because there aren't enough officers to patrol the streets. With the three suspensions, the borough is down to seven officers.

The 17-year-old told reporters that an officer zapped him once with the stun gun while he was handcuffed inside the department's jail cell on April 24.

Investigators believe the teen was in custody after refusing to answer a police officer's questions about a fight he witnessed.

The Delaware County district attorney is now investigating.
