Overview
- Police responding to a 911 report of gender-based violence at a home on Ovidio Lagos 8500 detained the alleged aggressor and assisted the victim on scene.
- The victim’s sister arrived during the procedure, ignored repeated warnings, struck a patrol car, and lunged at officers, triggering the use of the electroshock device.
- A subofficer deployed the Taser to enable restraint, the woman was treated by medical personnel and reported in good condition, and she later faced an accusation of resisting authority.
- The provincial Ministry of Justice and Security praised the agent’s conduct and said the action complied with established use-of-force rules.
- The incident occurred about three weeks after 60 Tasers were issued to Rosario units as part of a 100-device purchase with training, audit mechanisms, and body cameras, and Governor Maximiliano Pullaro publicly highlighted the deployment.
