That was so ridiculous that I had to look it up on www.snopes.com and at the Onion. Was sure it was a joke but it turns out it happened, although maybe not quite that way. The El Reno Tribune tells a remarkably different story: elrenotribune.com El Reno police said they were forced to taser an 86-year-old El Reno woman last week who was threatening to kill herself and threatened officers with a knife. The incident occurred Dec. 22 at the Elizabeth Place Apartments, 1955 S. Shephard, said Police Chief Ken Brown. Brown said the woman's grandson telephoned police asking for help for his grandmother, who he said was threatening to overdose on medication. The chief said when officers arrived, they found the woman lying on a bed. He said when the woman saw the officers she ordered them out of her home and told them that she “wanted to die.” Brown said the woman pulled a kitchen knife and told officers “she was in control of her life.” Brown said officers then tasered the woman and took the knife. Brown said the woman was taken to Parkview Hospital where the tasers were removed and she was admitted to a mental health center.
