He stated that she has come inside to eat and use the bathroom when she needed to. He stated that he had locked himself inside his bedroom to avoid conflict with her.

I also stated to her that he does not want to talk to her, and that he wants to be left alone. Carol then wanted to get loud and start arguing with [WITNESS #1]. At that time and taking into consideration the number of calls she had called in I decided to place Carol under arrest for disorderly conduct.I then went to grab Carol telling her she was under arrest, she turned away from me, telling me no. She then fell to the ground holding her arms close to her chest and brining her knees to her chest. I stated to her to place her hands behind her back, and she stated no again. She then started saying that she was allergic to handcuffs. As I was trying to maneuver Carol onto her stomach, she began kicking at me to get me off her.I then released Carol grabbing my taser to tase her since she was physically resisting. As I pulled my taser Carol stood up moving around a vehicle, and I deployed the taser twice. The first shot had negative contact, and one prong struck her in the back side of her left arm on the second shot as she was running away from me.Carol then went underneath a tarp that was over a chain link fence, and at that time I was able to pin her up against the fence. I then asked her boyfriend [WITNESS #1] to come over to where we were at to remove the tarp. [WITNESS #1] moved the tarp back, and after telling Carol to place her hands behind her back she stopped resisting. She was then placed in hand cuffs and escorted to the back seat of my patrol truck.I then advised dispatch that Carol was in custody, and to notate a taser deployment. I then read Carol her Miranda Rights asking if she wanted to speak to me, and she stated that she did.
