Police arrest woman they say used Taser on officer

[BuyingThyme]

Police have arrested a woman they said used a Utah Highway Patrol trooper's Taser on him. Lisa Parker, 41, was booked into the Salt Lake County jail for investigation of aggravated assault, interference with an arresting officer and unauthorized control of a motor vehicle. Authorities said a Utah Highway Patrol trooper pulled over a truck he thought was stolen on Saturday.

Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Nigbur said the officer attempted to arrest the female passenger but she hit him with her shoe and bit him.

Nigbur said the trooper tried to use his Taser but it didn't fire, so he threw it aside. But authorities say Parker picked it up and fired a shock called a"dry stun" into the officer.

1. Why do I find this funny?

I guess because it's a flip on the cops tasering old ladies and such. Don't mess with those Utah bitches. They'll chase you down, kick your car, and even tase you!

6. My question is: was the truck stolen or not?

Is unauthorized control of a motor vehicle the same as stolen? Or did they "borrow" it from a friend or relative? Anyone know the lingo on this?

7. I want to know if a truck was stolen on Saturday or the cop pulled over a truck on Saturday.

11. are you tasing me?

No, seriously. There's been so many stories about cops gone wild on here lately that I've grown a tad paranoid with police reports that seem to leave out some salient details. Why did she do what she did? Was she drunk or drugged or was he out of line? Please allow me to wallow in idle supposition and paranoia -- it's been a slow day here.
