UPDATE: Mall Security Guard Darien Long Has Been Arrested :51

Mall Security Guard Darien Long has been arrested and booked for battery in Atlanta. We were one of the first to show you this video of Long using a taser gun on a woman at the Metro Mall in Atlanta last year. The video went viral and Long became something of an internet hero. Just two days ago, we showed you yet another taser incident at the mall…this one from February. We skyped with Long and he told us that mall management was letting him go as of March 31st. According to reports, he allegedly tackled someone at the mall Thursday night and that's when he was arrested. This is Long's mug shot taken when he was booked at the Fulton County Jail. Bond was set at $2,000.
