Tux of Borg Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 wftv.com Deputy Tasers 90-Pound 13-Year-Old Girl At Hospital BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. -- A deputy Tasered an intoxicated 13-year-old girl who was kicking and scratching two hospital nurses, officials said. April Rene Burleson, who is 4-foot-9 and weighs 90 pounds, had a blood alcohol level of 0.175 percent and was under the influence of marijuana and the prescription drug Xanax, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office. "You have to understand, she was lashing out, kicking and scratching," sheriff's spokeswoman Ileana LiMarzi. "She was acting like an adult who needed to be restrained. Just because she's 13 doesn't mean she can't harm somebody." Burleson was charged with loitering, disorderly public intoxication, battery by a juvenile on health services personnel, battery on an officer and resisting an officer. She was sent to the Lee County Juvenile Assessment Center. Burleson was walking on the street at 2:50 a.m. Thursday when a deputy picked her up on the loitering charge. She was first brought to her mother, who agreed to have the girl medically cleared at Lee Memorial Hospital before being processed. According to sheriff's reports, Burleson had been combative with Deputy Chad Edwards before they reached the hospital, then screamed at the hospital staff and injured the nurses and Edwards. Burleson was shocked with the Taser in the chest, then held in four-point restraints during her exam, deputies said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like mysteries! They give me a bellyache, and I've got a beauty right now. Picard: Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

In the time it takes to spout such nonsense, they'd be nailed by about 6 photon torpedos. Advantage Kirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
