“The controversy now surrounding Ms. Palin stems from a messy divorce between state trooper Mike Wooten and his wife, Molly McCann, who is Ms. Palin’s younger sister.
In 2005, Ms. Palin alleged to Mr. Wooten’s supervisors that he had threatened to harm her sister and father and had engaged in numerous instances of misconduct, including using a stun gun on his 10-year-old stepson, according to state documents.
In one instance, she told state investigators, she overheard him on the telephone threatening her sister: “I’m gonna f-kin’ shoot your dad. He’s gonna get a lead bullet.”
Mr. Wooten told investigators he tested a Taser stun gun on the boy at his request but never threatened the Palins. An internal police investigation substantiated the stun-gun incident and some other charges but threw out most of the rest. Mr. Wooten was suspended for five days in 2006.”
I don’t see this going anywhere. She may be off the list, but it sounds like she had good cause to investigate the bum to me.
Yeah one has to wonder if the police would think it was not a crime for anyone else to test a stun gun on a 10 year old whether the 10 year old “requested” it or not.
seriously...the guy admits to using a stun gun on a 10 YO yet remains on the job??? obviously the fact she reported the ‘05 incident when it happens bodes well for her...
You don't ‘test’ a tazer on a 10 year old because the boy requests it. Sounds like this jackass should be in a cell regretting every arrest he made over the past years.
She may be off the list
Well, that is the point.
