R&B crooner Tank, who was arrested and tasered this past weekend in New Orleans during the All-Star festivities, has hired the Law Office of Bernard L. Charbonnet, Jr. to seek legal and punitive action in his case. 

As reported before Tank was charged with disturbing the peace, public drunkenness and resisting and obstructing an officer after defending a female freind who was involved in a verbal altercation with officers. During the arrest the cops tasered the singer at point blank range. 

It is not clear yet if Tank will be seeking any kind of financial compensation for this act or if he's just trying to make some heads roll. Of the incident the singer says "The most frustrating part of the entire incident is knowing that I did not do anything to pose a threat but was treated like a criminal. With a clean-cut image and a lady by my side, the law took matters into their own hands and chose to endanger my safety and those accompanying me. It's 2008 and New Orleans is still very much in trouble beyond the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I'm a living witness."
