Wasn't she executing an arrest warrant?

It began as a routine traffic stop but it turned out that there was an outstanding felony warrant for a bond violation. The bond was $100,000 to secure Mr. Wright's release pending trial on a felony firearms charge. The bond violation was that he failed to appear in court. The bounty hunters didn't find him (they are good at finding bond-jumpers) which means he was hiding out and not living at home. The traffic stop morphed into resisting arrest.

The rule is "If an arrestee is actively resisting an officer, the officer may take reasonable measures to control the subject and take him or her into custody. These reasonable measures or tactics include standing control, takedowns, ground control, and the use of less-lethal weapons such as electronic control devices (TASERs) and O.C. spray."

Hopefully. the jury will be able to keep the facts straight even if we can't keep them straight.
