A routine traffic stop in Dover, Delaware, quickly spiraled into a violent confrontation in which a taser was used on a mother of four. The incident began when Sierra Hopkins, 38, was pulled over on South Bay Rd. over an alleged insurance issue. But when the police ran her driver’s license and vehicle registration, they found that both had been suspended.
At the time, Hopkins was in the car with her four children, all of whom are minors. Reportedly, the trooper initially tried to accommodate her situation. Hopkins was allowed to drive away from the scene without having her car immediately impounded.
