Cop Mom Arrested for ‘Using Taser on Her Kids’
A Texas police officer is facing violent felony charges after she was accused of tasing her three young children at her Houston-area home.
Xochitl Ortiz, 34, was fired from her job as a deputy constable in Harris County following her arrest earlier this week. Ortiz, a two-year veteran of the force, was hit with three counts of bodily injury to a child under 15.
According to court documents reviewed by The Daily Beast, Ortiz “drive-stunned” the children, 8, 11, and 12, in early April, allegedly shocking the three on the hand, shoulder, and buttocks with a department-issued Taser belonging to her boyfriend—who worked alongside Ortiz as a Harris County deputy.
