The Arizona woman who was arrested for allegedly using a stun gun to wake up her teenage son so they could go to a church service on Easter Sunday has been allowed to go home. She also denies directly using the taser on her son.

Sharron Dobbins, 40, also says she does not regret what she has done even after receiving backlash from the public when news of what happened broke out. She reasoned: “I don’t think I did anything wrong because he was supposed to put God first.”

Dobbins claims she did not use the taser directly on her son and instead only used the light “to make it spark to call his attention.” She says she did make noise with the taser but did not use it on her son. She also recalls telling his sleeping son ‘Get up! It’s Jesus’ Day!’

The mother elaborates that she simply stood in their doorway and brandished the Taser as a warning to her boy.

After interrupting his sleep, the son threatened Dobbins that he could call the police, and the mother shot back: “You can call the police, UPS, DPS, whoever you want to call.”

Dobbins also narrates that the police were on the phone and that she told the dispatcher the same message she told her own son, ‘’You need to be with Jesus right now.”

The Phoenix Police Department had another version in earlier reports and said Dobbins “contact tazed her teenage son on the leg” in order to wake up his 16-year-old child.

The boy is not injured but authorities found two marks on the boy’s leg.

Dobbins was taken into custody and spent 12 hours in jail on Sunday.

The mother was allowed to be released from jail but she still has to attend court hearings on child abuse with intent to cause harm charges. She is set to appear in court on April 6.
