Kingsland Police use Taser on former teacher after dispute

A former teacher was arrested after he unexpectedly showed up at the Camden County Board of Education, authorities confirmed Friday. A source tells Action News Jax he was a former substitute teacher.

Jeffrey Travers was taken to jail after the Friday morning incident, Kingsland Police said. A report says Travers went to the Camden County Board of Education and requested a meeting with the Camden County School Superintendent but was told this was not possible.

Police said Travers became angry and employees called 911. They say he was shocked with a Taser after resisting efforts to pat him down for a weapon.

Travers was taken to a hospital and then placed under arrest for Disorderly Conduct.
