Criminal charges will not be filed against the Bay City Police Department in the taser death of a 14- year old boy. 14- year old Brett Elder was tased by police when he allegedly tried to fight off police who were called to the scene by the boy's aunt when several teenagers showed up drinking. Bay County prosecutor Kurt Asbury says charges will not be filed.

An autopsy was done an March 23, 2009 and confirmed that both the high level of alcohol and the taser caused the boy's death.

In a statement prosecutor Asbury stated. "the unfortunate reality of the situation was that the under-aged brett elder was very intoxicated... and without any meaningful adult supervision or guidance, placed himself in a situation which resulted in his death."
