This What Happens When You Are Disobedient To Your Parents
The controversy continues in Tucumcari over the police chief's decision to tase a 14 year old girl.
Chief Roger Hatcher says he had no choice but to tase 14 year old Kailee Martinez after she refused to obey his order to stop running away from him, following a physical fight with her mother.
Hatcher reportedly tased Kailee once in the back and once in the head. She needed 18 staples and six stitches to close the wound.
Kailee claims he tased her for no reason. She says she did not try to run away. Her family hired a lawyer to sue the city and police chief.
Chief Hatcher would not talk to us on camera because this is an on going investigation. He did tell NewsChannel10 he does not regret his actions. He adds he warned her several times and had no other choice when she did not listen to him.
I'm not sure if he was over the line in using a taser to subdue somebody who was not cooperating, but I do want to point out that she was not tased for disobeying her mom. It sounds more that the reason was not obeying lawful orders.
