A blind Ohio woman was tased by police who were looking for a
robbery suspect, a TV station is reporting.

According to WHIO TV, "Dayton police said they went to an
apartment building on Fernwood Avenue looking for a robbery
suspect and ended up tazing the man's mother who is legally
blind."

Police allege that 49-year-old Denise Harris "refused to talk
with them and became c****ative, striking out at an officer.
According to officers, when they tried to arrest her, she
resisted and they tased her."

Despite neighbors' claims that the officers used unnecessary
force on the woman, who is reportedly suffering from diabetes
and cancer, Dayton police said Harris would be charged with
assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest. The incident
is under investigation.
