CONWAY — Bartlett police are asking the circuit court to order the man whom they tased and pepper-sprayed during a traffic stop near Story Land in Glen to turn over his video footage of the incident. However, the defendant, a self-styled  "American National," says he won't comply.

According to police, Cpl. Justin Washburn stopped Chris Spinney, 35, of Conway on June 6 for having an outdated inspection sticker on the windshield of the Ford Taurus he was driving.
