An El Reno grandmother has agreed to a financial settlement in the federal lawsuit she filed after police shocked her in her own bed with a Taser.

“I'm glad it's over with,” Lona M. Varner, 87, said Tuesday.

“There's one thing I told them, though. I wish that every person in law enforcement would have to take a full and complete course in paramedics. That way, maybe, they would think first before they shoot.”

Varner and her grandson, Lonnie D. Tinsley, sued El Reno and police officers after she was subdued with a Taser on Dec. 22, 2009, in her apartment. Tinsley, 48, complained police threw him to the floor and handcuffed him when he told officers, “Don't Tase my granny!”
