The Wilbarger County Sheriff’s Office has a new tool that will give deputies an upper hand when suspects put up a struggle.

It is a Centurion LE Pepper Gun and the office is the first in North Texas to have them. The pepper gun sends a blast of red pepper stronger than the average pepper spray.

The Sheriff deputies said it is known for taking any one down.

“It causes immediate eye closure and from there it will begin to feel like you stuck your face in a hornet’s nest,” Darron Teeters, Vice President of Sales and Training for JPX America, Inc said.
