A 14 year old girl had to be tasered? Are the Police just completely out of control now or what? The taser was fired by the CHIEF (Chief Hatcher) of police in Tucum. She has ended up with staples in her head, apparently one of the tasers prongs penetrated her skull and hit her brain. Chief Hatcher is no on leave while an independent investigation is finalised. What exactly do they need to find here? The girl is 14, she was tasered for running away (she’s a kid who has done exactly NOTHING criminal) = Chief Hatcher should be locked up!
Obviously this 14 year old girl is white trash, she was arguing with her mum about sending messages on her phone to “older” men. However Hatcher is a stubby short of a six pack if he thinks he used necessary force.
Hatcher said he shot two Taser darts at Kailee Martinez, 14, Thursday while responding to a domestic dispute between the girl and her mother. One hit her in the head and the other struck her back.
Martinez said she was released from Albuquerques University of New Mexico Hospital on Sunday following a two-hour surgery to remove one of the darts from her head.
The surgery left her with 18 staples and six stitches.
“I feel good being home,” Martinez said Tuesday. “It is a lot better than being in a hospital.”
Martinez mother, Stacy Akin, said she drove her daughter to police headquarters after they fought about a cell phone.
Hatcher said the girl walked away from the police station and when he talked with Akin she had a bloody lip and scratches from a fight.
Hatcher said he found the girl in a city park, but when he tried to talk to her she ran into traffic without looking.
Hatcher said he was unable to catch her and used the stun gun because he didnt know where she might go and he had to get her stopped.
“I was going to the park to clear my mind,” Martinez said. “I go there when I get angry. It is a place where I can calm down.”
Martinez said she saw Hatcher drive around the park and did not want to stay there and deal with him. She said she was walking west across Monroe Street when Hatcher got out of his vehicle and told her to stop.
“I remember him saying ’stop, stop’ and then watching him pull it out (Taser),” Martinez said. “The next thing I remember was being in the ambulance, handcuffed.”
Akin said her family has hired an attorney but declined to discuss any legal actions the family may take.
Akin said they will return to Albuquerque in a week for a follow-up doctors appointment.
“To be honest, none of this should have ever happened,” Akin said.
Rose said Hatcher was placed on administrative leave Monday
