She Cleans houses And He Is A Janitor
A jury, in the trial of 69-year-old woman who was Tasered by
police two years ago, refused to send Louise Jones to jail. Instead
she was fined $250 for attempted infliction of bodily injury, and
$400 for resisting arrest.
She and her husband, 78-year-old Fred Jones, had been convicted and
sentenced to probation by a judge in Kansas City municipal court.
Both appealed, and the case against the husband was later dismissed
while the wife was granted a retrial in circuit court.

What Happened
Two Kansas City Police Officers Cory Le Moine and Ryan VanDeusen were
cruising the street slowly, when she honked her horn and pulled
into her driveway. Police interrogated grandma, she became irate,
Jones said she only commented to her sister and a woman neighbor that
police would not be threatening a senior citizen with a horn honking
ticket in a rich white neighborhood. The woman went into her house, the
cops forced their way into the house, she resisted, they tried to
handcuffed her, she ran and they tasered her.
Police threw Jones to the floor and started to cuff her. Her husband,
Fred Jones, woke up, came downstairs and tried to pull an officer off
and got thrown to the floor and cuffed.
