Property Crimes Detective\u00a0Pamela Thomas then arrived, giving Witte the chance to put his firearm away and pull out his taser, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeputy Witte deployed his taser at McGowan, which successfully disarmed her and provided an opportunity to place her in handcuffs,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office noted.<\/p>\n<p>An investigation revealed that McGowan entered the store with a brick in hand and began intimidating customers as she wandered around the Walmart, authorities said. She came across a packaged pocket knife and used scissors from the store to access the weapon before using the blade, in addition to the brick, to continue threatening shoppers and workers until Witte and then Thomas arrived on the scene, the MCSO said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter McGowan was arrested, it was discovered that she ingested approximately four grams of methamphetamine earlier in the day,\u201d the MCSO said.<\/p>\n<p>She was evaluated at a hospital before being taken to Marion County Jail, where she remained as of April 4. McGowan is facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, online inmate records <a href=\"http:\/\/jail.marionso.com\/Details.aspx?InmateRID=4319937\">show<\/a>. She was being held on a $1,000 bond, though it is unclear if she has posted the amount. Her next court date is set for May 3 at 9:00 a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wild body camera footage caught the moment a Florida sheriff\u2019s deputy tased a woman \u2013 who had allegedly ingested four grams of methamphetamine earlier in the day \u2013 inside a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1422530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1422530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1422530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1422530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1422530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1422530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1422530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
