80. This report states she did not do anything violent....
she just wanted to go home. My personal opinion is the taser is used first rather than last in too many incidents.

Panama City - A Beach police officer tased a naked woman after responding to a complaint of a disturbance along Front Beach Road on Saturday.

Just after midnight Saturday morning, a Bay County Sheriff's deputy responding to a complaint of a verbal disturbance saw a woman leaving an apartment wearing no clothes. She started walking toward him, and he told her to stop.

He could see into the apartment, and he noticed two men coming from the hallway into the living room area. He told them to lie face-down on the floor, and they complied.

Just then, a Panama City Beach police officer arrived. The deputy told him to watch the woman while he secured the two men inside. The deputy reported hearing the officer tell the woman, "Stop, or I will tase you."

The woman kept approaching the officer, according to the report, which says the officer then "deployed his taser into" the woman.

The report says the woman "remained on the front porch without further incident" once she had been tased.
