Just Shoot Me!

This is one tough old broad: not only did she break into an building to--allegedly--steal some stuff, but then fought off several cops, hitting one of them with a chair. Even after being Tasered once, Irene "Don't Mess With Me" Bramwell continued to fight and caused an officer to accidentally discharge his Taser, shooting himself in the finger. Eventually they got her under control, but she wasn't going to go down easy.

According to court records and prosecutors, Bramwell was arrested when police responded to a call at a building on the 5500 block of South Nottingham Avenue on Friday. After police showed up and were told that a person was inside the home, they noticed that a window in the front of the building was broken. When they went around to the back, they found an open back door, officials said.

The officers found Bramwell in the basement after entering the building, officials said. Bramwell threw a wooden chair at one of the officers, striking the person in the right arm, officials said.  As Bramwell continued to resist arrest, the other officer took out a Taser and fired it at the woman, striking her, officials said.

Even though she had been struck by the Taser, Bramwell continued to flail her arms and resist the officers, officials said. As the woman continued to resist arrest, the officer who earlier Tasered her set up the Taser again.  She continued to flail her arms, causing the officer to accidentally discharge the Taser and shoot himself in the pinky finger of his left hand, officials said.
