A Geelong drug dealer who managed to taser himself has avoided jail

A Geelong drug dealer who tasered himself to see if his weapon was still working has avoided jail.

The taser, along with a machete, gun, and knuckledusters, was found at a home in Whittington in May, along with more than $2,000 worth of drugs.

The Geelong Advertiser reports the 26-year-old pleaded guilty to various drugs and weapons charges, and has been placed on a 12-month community corrections order.
