Details continue emerging about last weekend’s violent takedown of the Naked Wizard at Coachella music festival, like his real name, Johnathan Felch. Newspapers report that of the three cops who dragged the 23-year-old into custody, the officer who tasered Felch repeatedly is from the Banning Police Department. The two Indio police officers were the ones who couldn’t get handcuffs on the Naked Wizard while they pinned him to the ground. And although it’s not acknowledged in reports, those two were also the ones who gave Felch a brutal knee drop in his chest, just before they let go of him to jump up and be tasered over and over again.

We also learned that the Naked Wizard is a performer, who wants “to sleep in the mushrooms and eat the sun” and loves to play with fire. Click through the gallery above for more photos of the Wizard, clothed for Boy Scouts, headshots, a 90s rave scene on the tv show Journeyman, as well as firedancing, which we’ve included a video of below.

Earlier today, the Indio Police Department defended their officers who tasered the Naked Wizard at the Coachella music festival over the weekend. According to police spokesman Ben Guitron, the naked man was arrested on suspicion of public drunkenness and due to the crowd size, using a taser “was the best way to subdue him and take him.” Because he didn’t think tasering a naked man was “significant,” Guitron did not share the incident with media earlier, which makes us wonder whether these type of shenanigans happen so often in Indio that they’re not worth mentioning.

However, it’s more likely that he didn’t want to highlight how three burly cops completely failed to get handcuffs on one man pinned to the ground, and then resorted to a violent knee drop into his chest (which has already achieved animated gif status) and repeated shocks from a taser gun.

As if the video wasn’t disturbing enough, here’s some equally shocking photographs of Indio police unmercifully dragging Coachella’s most entertaining act, the Naked Wizard, into custody. And despite what the he-deserved-it crowd says, even jackasses baring penis-looking appendages should be shown some semblance of leniency. Click through the gallery of horrors above and go here to see the full NSFW collection that makes you wonder what country these were actually taken in.

Among the many performances at the Coachella music festival, there was one act more disturbing and brutal than the rest. As hundreds of music fans looked on, three police officers beat down and repeatedly tasered a Naked Wizard who apparently wasn’t eager to throw a robe over his magic wand. Though we shouldn’t have to warn you, the video may not be safe for work. Related: Photos of the Naked Wizard Getting Brutalized and Naked Wizard’s MySpace Reveal: He Likes To Play With Fire
