Woman Shoots Cop With Taser at His Home
Woman Shoots Cop With Taser at His Home

Tuesday, July 17, 2007
(07-17) 15:02 PDT DALLAS (AP) --


A police officer was shot with his own Taser by a woman visiting his home, authorities said. Officer Charles Jeffers told investigators he'd stopped to use the restroom at his home Sunday night while on his way to investigate a burglary. He let a woman he knew into the house, leading to her accidentally shooting the Taser, according to a police report.

snip...
The woman said she picked up the Taser, believing it was a flashlight, while Jeffers was in the bathroom, according to the police report.

When Jeffers told her to put the Taser down, she was "startled and accidentally pulled the trigger," the report said.

A Taser prong hit Jeffers in the chin. Paramedics removed the prong and Jeffers was not seriously injured, police said.

1. "stopped to use the restroom at his home Sunday night while on his way to investigate a burglary."
And just invited a woman in while he was "on his way
to investigate a burglary".

Ooookaaayy.....:eyes:

2. I'm glad to hear that he wasn't seriously injured...
by his prong.

Shocking, as they say. That'll teach him how to conduct himself.

5. There is something weird about this story. sounds like the cop stopped off for a little rendevous
before heading off to the robbery.
