Officers were chasing the woman’s son when he ran into the house. They asked to him to come out and he refused.
They then went into the home and used a Taser on the suspect. The women then came out and police commanded her to turn around.
FOX23 counted about 40 seconds in the video between that command and when she was pepper sprayed.
“This is a very important issue. There is a lot of missing information out there. There is a lot of prejudgment out there and a lot of concern,” said Chief Rex Eskridge.
The investigation is ongoing.
