Officers were called by several people around 5:10 a.m. because a woman was breaking car windows and chasing one of the 911 callers with a stick. When police arrived, the woman was agitated and acting irrationally while running after another woman. Officers suspected she was under the influence of drugs. When police tried to handcuff her, an officer tasered her to stop her from fighting and handcuffed her. She died a short time later.
