HERE for a sneak peek of CBS’s new series ARMED & FAMOUS premiering
Wednesday, Jan. 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT)
ARMED
& FAMOUS features actor Erik Estrada ("CHiPs"), singer and
author La Toya Jackson, television personality Jack Osbourne ("The
Osbournes"), professional skateboarder Jason "Wee Man"
Acuña ("Jackass") and former WWE champion wrestler, Trish
Stratus. The series follows the five stars as they become sworn police
officers in the Midwestern town of Muncie, Indiana -- a city of nearly
70,000 residents located 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
Done
with the full cooperation of the Muncie Police Department, the celebrities
will undergo police training to become reserve police officers in the
Muncie Police Department. They'll learn everything from firearms to
hand-to-hand combat, and even learn what it's like to be on the receiving
end of a taser shock as a part of the process to be certified to carry
stun guns.
Upon
completion of their training, they'll be issued badges and guns, partnered
with veteran officers and immediately hit the streets of Muncie.
The
five celebrities will protect and serve on the busiest shift of the night,
6 PM to 2 AM, responding to emergency calls, helping victims and making
arrests.
