ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Cordele police were called to an unusual dispute involving an ax and a sword. An officer responded to a disturbance on West Avenue.

The officer tased Willie Caldwell and got him to drop his ax. Another officer on scene tased Annette Williams for being defensive and resisting arrest.
