LAKE OZARK, Mo. — A Lake Ozark Police Department officer tased a man who turned out to be a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper after a bar brawl last weekend, LakeExpo has confirmed.

Multiple sources shared with LakeExpo that the incident occurred outside Casablanca, as LOPD officers were responding to a report of a fight.

As officers temporarily detained people, working to sort out who had been involved in the fight, the trooper — who was reportedly off-duty and in civilian clothes — fled and was subsequently tased by a LOPD officer. The man was issued a citation and released. His identity was not revealed by LOPD.

LOPD Chief James Boren said he was reviewing the incident and officer body cam footage, and he declined to comment on any details of the matter.

In request for comment, the Highway Patrol responded:

"We are aware of an incident this past weekend in Lake Ozark involving a trooper assigned to Troop B. In accordance with Patrol policy, our Professional Standards Division has been notified of the incident. While the administrative review process continues, the trooper remains on regular duty status."
