Original Article Police use of Taser on woman, 75, reviewed Associated Press Oct. 21, 2004 12:00 AM ROCK HILL, S.C. - Police were reviewing whether it was proper for an officer to use a stun gun on a 75-year-old woman who refused to leave a nursing home where she'd gone to visit an ailing friend. Margaret Kimbrell acknowledged she was distraught after unsuccessfully trying to visit a friend at the home Friday but the officer "didn't have to do that. I didn't deserve this." A police report said the woman tried to hit the officer. Kimbrell said she became agitated when the staff would not tell her where her friend was, fearing he had died. The man was taking a walk at the time. Police charged Kimbrell with trespassing and resisting arrest. Officer Hattie Macon, who joined the department about 18 months ago, remains on duty. "On face value, it looks like it was" proper, police Chief John Gregory said. "We have a person who was asked to leave, who refused and who attempted to assault the officer." The nursing home staff called police after Kimbrell refused to leave. Police said Macon fired the Taser, striking Kimbrell in the back. "I thought I was dying," Kimbrell said. "I didn't want to hurt her and I can't believe she would hurt me." Kimbrell said she bruised her leg when she fell, but the police report said neither the officer nor Kimbrell was injured.
