A 28-year old woman was seeking a civil protection order against her boyfriend in Ohio when the judge had to leave the courtroom.
Suddenly, her boyfriend jumped up and started chasing her around the table.
She lost her footing and slipped. When she got up, he shoved her and started throwing punches. That’s when a deputy burst into the room -- and tasered the suspect.
