RCMP say the man was found intoxicated behind the wheel of a parked vehicle and was taken into custody.
When the man refused to get in the back seat of the police cruiser, the officer repeatedly told the man he should comply or be tasered.
Shortly after the man is tasered, the man can still be heard refusing arrest.
Several more RCMP arrived on scene to assist in the arrest, according to a press release.
Police say the man also refused to provide a breath sample. He was released from custody, given a 90 day driving prohibition and faces charges under the Motor Vehicle Act.
