(Salem, OR) -- A man armed with a gun was tased in front of the Marion County Courthouse on Wednesday. The Marion County Sheriff's Office says a man had set up a tent at the entrance to the courthouse. The suspect told deputies he had a gun and refused to get out of his tent. The area was locked down while negotiators tried to get the man to peacefully surrender. When he refused, officers used a Taser on the man and he was taken into custody. 54-year-old James Boyles was evaluated at a hospital before being booked. No gun was recovered.
