ZION -- Responding to a 9-1-1 hang-up call, police used a Taser eight times to subdue a woman who disregarded their orders.

Eric Hill and Nathan Hucker arrived at 3102 23rd St. on Feb. 20 to find the apartment in disarray with three women present. One of the apartment's tenants was bleeding from a head wound.

According to police reports, the other tenant, 30-year-old Farrah F. Evans, allegedly inflicted the wound by striking her roommate with a vase during an altercation.

To determine what happened at the apartment, the officers attempted to conduct separate interviews and directed one of the tenants to go into a bedroom.

That's when the trouble started.

Ignoring the officers' commands, Evans followed the roommate into the bedroom and was hit by a Taser dart fired by Hucker -- but with no apparent effect. Evans got inside the bedroom and closed the door, bracing her 6-foot, 280-pound body against the door.

Hucker tried kicking the door open but could not.

Using his shoulder as a ram, Hill forced the door open enough to get inside by himself. Hill hit Evans in the abdomen with a Taser dart, causing her to slump forward, but she remained on her feet.

Hill pulled her down to the floor, but she resisted his attempts to handcuff her. Hill hit her with another Taser shot.

As more officers arrived and entered the room, Evans continued to resist. This time she was given a "contact stun" on her back, where the Taser is deployed directly on the body.

She still wouldn't place her hands behind her back, so she was hit a fifth time with a Taser, a second contact stun between her shoulder blades.
