When police cleared Pagliuco to leave without arrest, he attempted to shake the officer's hand. When the officer declined the handshake, Pagliuco slapped him in the face, prompting the officer to use his taser, police said.
He was charged with battery to a police officer and two counts of resisting and given a Jan. 14 court date.
While responding to a call about a disturbance in the 7300 block of Dixon Avenue, the people involved in the disturbance started to yell at the officers at the scene, police said, including Ogolvie.
