A mother who was zapped with a stun gun in front of her children during a New York traffic stop has filed notice she’ll sue the sheriff’s department.
A police video captured by a dashboard camera shows Deputy Sean Andrews yanking Audra Harmon out of her minivan by the arm and knocking her down with two Taser shots in January.
Harmon was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and speeding. Her lawyer says prosecutors dismissed the charges after watching the videotape.
Harmon claims Andrews was improperly trained. She says a Taser isn’t supposed to be used against people who pose no threat.
In a notice of claim filed Thursday with the Onondaga (ahn-uhn-DAH’-guh) County clerk, Harmon accuses Andrews of wrongful conduct. She’s seeking unspecified monetary damages.
