Couple attacked w/pooper scooper? WTF?

It took five police officers, three hits with a Taser gun, leg straps and a spit bag to subdue a 5-foot tall, 105-pound woman who entered a Waukesha home and attacked a couple she didn't know with a metal pooper scooper and scissors, authorities said.

Linda Dormer woke up at 4:40 a.m. Sunday because the family's Shih Tzu, Gucci, was barking in the kitchen. When she walked into the kitchen, she saw a stranger wildly swinging the pooper scooper and babbling, "They drugged me. They are going to kill me. I'm going to kill you." Reed then kicked Gucci in the shoulder.

Linda Dormer screamed, and her husband, now awake, ran into the kitchen. Reed hit John Dormer on the side of his face with the pooper scooper before grabbing two scissors from the kitchen, the complaint says.

With a scissors in each hand, she fought the 6-foot, 210-pound man. Dormer said that he couldn't believe Reed's strength. When the first officer arrived, Reed was foaming at the mouth and struggling with the homeowner, the complaint says. She continued to fight the officer who used a Taser gun, but it appeared to have no effect on her. More and more officers were called to assist, and she was stunned with the Taser two more times.

Using their combined weight, five officers were finally able to subdue the woman enough to take her to Waukesha Memorial Hospital to check her for injuries.

Bail was ordered at $4,999, and she remains in the Waukesha County Jail. She could face 33 years in prison if convicted. Article here.
