Deputy tases woman, 70, while trying to make arrest at her home

Bradenton, Florida — A sheriff's deputy tased a 70-year-old woman three times while trying to arrest someone else at her home, reports CBS Tampa affiliate WTSP-TV, citing arrest reports. The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said deputies were seeking someone wanted for carrying a concealed firearm on December 26.

The arrest report said Barbara Pinkney met deputies at the door after another person at the home became uncooperative.

Deputies said she told them they couldn't come in without a search warrant but they told her they didn't need a search warrant since they were executing an arrest warrant.

The report said deputies told Pinkney she could be arrested for obstructing justice if she kept refusing to cooperate with them. At that point, she tried to shut the door on them, according to deputies.

Let me guess, the deputies were fearful for their lives.

2. I took a wild guess that she was a woman of color.

Well, I'll be damned. I was right.

3. Normally an arrest warrant is only valid at the home of the named suspect.

If this was the home of a third party, she was correct that they needed a search warrant.

4. Do they need a search warrant if they had an arrest warrant? Thx in advance

5. I'm probably wrong BUT

If it's someone else's (other than the person they were looking to arrest) house i would say yes the would need a search warrant.
