A WOMAN has taken a police officer to court after he allegedly tasered her after she refused to show him her breasts.

Ashlea Bennett alleged that Officer Brandon Carter in his uniform went into her place of work in Haskell, Arkansas on December 13, 2011, and ordered that she give him a sneak peak of her boobs, Court House News Service reported.

She alleged that it was not the first time he had asked her to expose herself to him and that complaints had been previously about his unwarranted behaviour.

In this instance, when Bennett refused, Carter allegedly drew his "electroshock Taser weapon" and pointed it at her and said he would fire it if she did not comply with his demand.

Bennett ran away and into the back of the office, where Carter allegedly chased her and "activated and deployed his electroshock Taser weapon in 'drive stun' mode numerous times".

She is suing the City of Haskell and Officer Carter, in the US Federal Court for compensation and punitive damages on charges that include civil rights violations, assault, failure to train and supervise, and negligent supervision.

Bennett also claims Haskell's police department ignored her previous complaints about the cop.
