Grandmother, 86, Sues El Reno Police

Woman Says Officers Shot Her With Taser, Held Her Against Her Will

An 86-year-old El Reno woman is suing the city’s police department over a December incident in which officers shot her with a Taser while she was in bed, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court.

Lona M. Varner, 86, and her grandson, Lonnie D. Tinsley, filed the suit on Monday. It alleges that the El Reno Police Department “cruelly injured (her) with a Taser and imprisoned (her) for several days without probable cause in a hospital.”

However, police told the El Reno Tribune in January that the woman had threatened to kill herself and threatened officers with a knife. The story says the incident happened on Dec. 22 at the Elizabeth Place Apartments, located at 1955 S. Shephard Avenue.

According to the lawsuit: Varner’s grandson had called 911 to request emergency medical technicians to stop by to help her with medication. He had stopped by to check on her in advance of an approaching winter storm, the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit alleges that instead of EMTs, 10 police officers came to the apartment and “pushed their way through the door.” It also alleges that from her hospital-style bed and connected to an oxygen machine, she told them to leave.

At that point, the officer instructed another policeman to “Taser her!” according to the court brief. Police contended in their official report that Varner had taken a “more aggressive posture in her bed.”

However, El Reno Police Chief Ken Brown told the city’s local newspaper that she ordered officers out of the apartment, telling them that she wanted to die. At that point, Brown said, the woman grabbed a kitchen knife and told officers, “She was in control of her life.”

Police were forced to use a Taser on the woman so they could take the knife, Brown told the paper. He said she was taken to a local hospital, where she was evaluated.

However, attorneys for Varner contend that police were needlessly aggressive with the woman. They said that officers stepped on her oxygen hose until Varner began to suffer oxygen deprivation. Attorneys said police fired a Taser at her twice, the second shot of which hit her in the chest, burning Varner and causing her to pass out.

All the while, according to the lawsuit, Varner’s grandson was sitting in the back of a police car, handcuffed. Lawyers for Tinsley said that he had pleaded with police, “Don’t taze my granny!”

Police allegedly told him that they would use a Taser on him instead. The lawsuit contends that he was detained in the back of an officer’s vehicle.

The lawsuit contends that Varner was then transported by paramedics from Parkview Hospital in El Reno to St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City, where she was placed in a psychiatric ward at the direction of El Reno police. Lawyers for Varner said she was held there for six days and released.

Both Varner and Tinsley are suing the city of El Reno and its police department for an amount that is “more than $75,000” according to court documents, citing Varner’s “great pain, mental suffering, fear and humiliation and being deprived of her physical liberty.”

She has since recovered from the incident.

Police and the city of El Reno declined to comment on the lawsuit, saying it is still pending. At the time, they said the woman was threatening to overdose and they used the Taser because she pulled a knife on the officers.
