Dallas Township police used a Taser on a Misericordia University student from Bloomsburg after she kicked an officer and tried to escape from a patrol car Tuesday.
Felicia Pellitteri, faces charges of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, escape, and disorderly conduct
The incident started around 3 p.m., when Pellitteri became unruly in Misericordia's administration building and was asked to leave by campus security officers.
Dallas Township police officers spoke with Pellitteri but she wouldn't follow directions and tried to get back into the administration building. When police blocked her way, Pellitteri kicked Officer Liparela, police said.
Pellitteri was arrested, handcuffed and put in the back of the Dallas Township patrol car. She freed herself from the handcuffs and tried to escape by crawling through the front seat, police said. Pellitteri kicked Liparela again when he attempted to secure her in the rear of the police car. He used a Taser to subdue her so she could be taken to the station for processing, police said.
This is just another example of police using tasers, should they be allowed to? Is the risk from using it bigger then the risk of not using it?
