Woman
TASED At Best Buy
Video
has surfaced of a Daytona Beach police officer using a TASER on a woman in a store.
According
to our partners at the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Elizabeth Beeland was shopping
at a Best Buy in Daytona Beach last month.
Before
she checked out, she got an upsetting phone call about her child and stepped outside
to take the call.
According
to the police report, the clerk said Beeland was suspicious and flagged down Daytona
Beach police officer Claudia Wright, who was in the store.
When
Officer Wright confronted Beeland, she yelled at her.
When
they came back in the store, Wright repeatedly asked her to calm down and threatened
to arrest and TASER her if she didn't.
As
the video shows, Beeland continued to back away as the officer moved closer.
Beeland
was then TASED and arrested.
Beeland
is charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a police officer without violence.
Police
department policy states an officer can deploy his or her TASER "for the
purpose of subduing a violent, noncompliant or combative subject."
Beeland's
attorney is now investigating what legal action to take against the police department
and officer.
