[February 21, 2009]  BAY CITY, Mich. (AP) -- Going to church brought no peace to a man Tasered by police as he stood in the nude in 27-degree weather.

A funeral Mass was being held inside St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church when police received 911 calls about a naked man Friday morning. Sgt. Gordon Cameron said the man told officers he was having problems with his parents and wanted to go to church.

Cameron told The Bay City Times that the man cursed and verbally abused police before Officer Troy Sierras immobilized him with a Taser, an electronic device that fires barbs causing temporary paralysis.

The man was draped in a blanket and taken to Bay Regional Medical Center for treatment.

Cameron said the man, whose name was withheld, likely wouldn't be charged with any crime.
