DENVER (AP) A woman who was shocked in the back with a Taser while lying on the ground in Pueblo, Colorado, last year is suing the police officer who stunned her and the city's police chief, accusing the police department of failing to report excessive force by the officer to state regulators.
Pueblo Police Chief Chris Noeller and one of his officers are the subject of a federal lawsuit for violating department policy in connection with the tasing of an unarmed woman.
