Mother Tased & Arrested at School Drop-Off for Breaking Protection Order 

On January 18th, 2024, a school resource officer in Ohio requested backup to a situation at a local school where a suspect was reported for violating a protection order. Earlier that week, the principal had received a complaint from a concerned parent who spotted the suspect dropping a child off at the school. Officers reviewed footage of the suspect at the school earlier that week, confirming she had been violating the protection order. In the early hours of the morning, the officer located the suspect inside her vehicle, who initially refused to stop and talk with the officer, stating she was calling her attorney before driving away. The officer followed the suspect in his vehicle, where the suspect stopped and refused to exit her vehicle despite multiple commands. The situation escalated quickly, with the officers employing the placement of stop sticks under the vehicle's tires. The confrontation continued to escalate as the suspect resisted arrest, kicking at an officer as he attempted to remove her from the vehicle. Despite the officers' attempts to de-escalate, the suspect continued to shout and refuse to cooperate, leading to the deployment of an officer’s taser. The struggle persisted on the ground, with the suspect refusing to release her hand before eventually placing her securely in handcuffs. After finally being securely detained and placed into a patrol car, the suspect was taken into custody and later evaluated by medical personnel. The suspect did not report any injuries and was cleared by medical personnel. The suspect was charged with Violation of a Protection Order, Assault, Failure to Comply with the Order or Signal of a Police Officer, Resisting Arrest, Obstructing Official Business, & Disorderly Conduct.
