Miami: A US woman is suing a sheriff's deputy after he allegedly shot her with a stun gun then apologised with a cake that said "Sorry I tased you" in blue icing.

The cake did not cut it for Stephanie Byron, who brought the suit against former Escambia County, Florida deputy Michael Wohlers in May.

The complaint, which was filed in federal court in Pensacola, Florida, alleges Wohlers violated Byron's civil rights, committed battery against her and caused her hardships, including physical injuries, monetary loss, medical expenses, humiliation and mental anguish.
