1. Background: 14-year-old girl needed 18 staples, 6 stitches to her head
after being shot with stun gun darts by the Tucamari Police Chief.

In July, Kailee Martinez, 14, was shot with stun gun darts in the hip and in the head by the Tucumcari Police Chief. It took 18 staples and six stitches to piece her head back together.
KRQE News 13


Kailee Martinez’s mother, Stacy Akin was taking Kailee to the police station due to some obscene materials on her daughter’s cell phone. The situation got out of control and Kailee took off running to a nearby park. The Chief of Police, Roger Hatcher, took off running after her. He stated “she was running blindly through traffic and she almost got hit.” When he almost caught up to her at the park she ran away once more. He felt the only way he could prevent her from running away again was to give her a taser dart. A shaved head, several staples and stitches Kailee is recovering slowly. Her parents believed that the dart penetrated too deeply into her skull and is making her pre-existing epilepsy act up.
