Parent Tased at Local Middle School

A Cumberland County woman is in custody after assaulting Cumberland County Deputies who serve as school resource officers.

Allyison Alicia Mims-Whitner is charged with one count of trespassing, two counts of resist, delay and obstruction of justice, and two counts of assault on a government official according to the Cumberland County Public Information Officer.

Shortly before 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 06, 2012, Whitner came to the office of Lewis Chapel Middle School on Skibo Road and attempted to check her son out of classes for the day.  The child told school officials he did not want to go because he was afraid of his mother, who is not the custodial parent of the child.

Meanwhile, school officials had the child wait in an inner office and called deputies to the scene.

When deputies began to question Whitner, she became irate and combative.  Although the school resource officers directed Whitner to leave the campus, she refused to do so without the child, and she assaulted the officers.

Deputies deployed the Taser, striking Whitner once and immobilizing her to prevent her from harming herself or others.

Whitner is being processed in the Cumberland County Detention Center at this hour.
