Stun Gun Used on Pregnant Woman in Ohio

TROTWOOD, Ohio (AP) - A policeman forced a pregnant woman to the ground and used a stun gun on her when she refused to answer the officer's questions and resisted being handcuffed, authorities said Thursday.

The woman went to the police department in this Dayton suburb on Nov. 18 to ask officers to take custody of her 1-year-old son, said Michael Etter, Trotwood's public safety director.

The woman told the officer she was "tired of playing games" with the baby's father, Etter said. The woman refused to answer questions, became frustrated and tried to leave with the child, Etter said. The officer feared allowing her to leave could jeopardize the child and he decided to detain her to get more information.

Personally I think this is a good example of "drive by" reporting.

1. The reporter is taking advantage of recent controversies involving stun guns with this story. Now anyone who is being stunned is a victim of abuse. What BS.

2. It wasn't obvious this lady was pregnant until she got to the jail. I personally believe that this is a bug with the stun gun. The manufactuers should include an automatic pregnancy tester on the stun gun. When the probes are shot in to the suspect, it conducts a pregnancy test. If a person is pregnant the stun gun will not operate, this option is disabled in Florida for obvious reasons.
