A police officer tased a 65-year-old woman as she resisted arrest after she refused to sign an $80 ticket during a traffic stop in Oklahoma for a broken tail light.

Authorities released bodycam footage of the incident to local media on July 31, after charging Debra Hamil with assault and battery on a police officer—a felony—and resisting an officer, reported WGBA-TV.
