Officer used Taser on woman at Saturday's football game

Officers from the University of Wisconsin Police Department used a Taser on a woman who refused to move from an aisle in Section U at Camp Randall during Saturday's game against Penn State, according to a report from The Capital Times. 

 

Following the game's kickoff, UWPD officers ejected Margaret Hiebing, 54, and her husband from the game when she would not move to her seat.  

 

UWPD Sgt. Jason Whitney told The Capital Times police asked guest services to help Hiebing get to her seat but she refused to move. Whitney said UWPD policy requires officers to eject those who refuse to sit in their seats. 

 

According to The Capital Times, following her ejection, Hiebing started kicking and screaming when put in handcuffs, which is when officers used the Taser on her. Hiebing was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, and her husband, Roman Hiebing Jr., was charged with disorderly conduct.  

 

Whitney told The Capital Times UWPD will conduct a use of force"" review about the use of the Taser, but no disciplinary actions have been implemented for the officer.
