Canandaigua Police used a Taser this morning to subdue a man who came at them with a sword.
Police went to West Gibson Street for a domestic disturbance call at 5:30 a.m. and encountered 31-year-old Joseph Kavenaugh and a woman. The woman distanced herself from Kavenaugh, who according to police verbally threatened the officers and walked toward them while unsheathing his sword. At that point they Tasered him and took him into custody.
Kavenaugh has been charged with two counts of menacing and more charges are pending.
