Another traffic stop has led to a Tasering this time in Pinellas County. Earlier this week a man in Bradenton was stopped on his bike and fled police. That man was subdued with a Taser and ended up dying following the Tasering. Yesterday it was a Clearwater woman named Sarah Thomas who tried to get away from police following a traffic stop. Thomas fled, caused an accident and was then Tasered according to a story on TampaBay.com.
The incident took place Thursday afternoon when Thomas was pulled over by a Clearwater officer for reckless driving. After stopping her car, Thomas fled the scene. She tried to pass a car by driving in the grassy median and spun out. She then exited her vehicle and according to police approached them in a threatening manner which led to the officers using a Taser on the 39-year-old woman. She was then arrested and charged with fleeing and eluding, DUI and resisting arrest.
