FBI Steps Into Tasered Girl Case
posted 11/20/09
5:09 pm
Mayor Vernon McDaniel and Police Chief Jim Noggle said Friday they're pleased the FBI stepped in.
Officer Dustin Bradshaw was suspended with pay for a week for not having a video camera attached to his Taser. The western Arkansas town wants the FBI to consider whether using the Taser on the girl was appropriate.
The girl's mother called police Nov. 11 after the mother said the girl refused to take a shower. Bradshaw said the girl became violent and "verbally combative" and that her mother suggested using the Taser.
The FBI did not comment.

Why is the FBI sticking their nose into this? I could see the state attorney general, or state police investigating, but not the FBI. Must be a slow week for crime on the national front.
