A disturbing incident at a U.S. Border Patrol roadside checkpoint near Ogdensburg that was captured on video is going viral via Facebook.

Jess Cooke, an Ogdensburg native and criminal justice student at SUNY Canton, distributed a video of herself being tackled and tased for more than a minute by Border Patrol officers following an exchange that led to a confrontation.

In the video, Cooke appears to have been pulled over for secondary inspection at the checkpoint. Cooke asks two officers repeatedly why she is being detained, to which the officers initially give no direct answer. "I'm not the only one who observed your nervous behavior," says the female agent. After the male agent instructs Cooke to walk back to her car, and she refuses, the male agent tackles Cooke while the female agent applies a taser to Cooke's back, according to Cooke's description on the Facebook post:

This is what happens when you stand up for your rights against the US Border Patrol when they want to check in your... Posted by Jess Cooke on Thursday, May 7, 2015

They held me against my will until the K-9 Unit come to check out my car! I tryed to see what was going on after i had to pull over and wait. A MAN pushed me and then threw me to the ground while a WOMAN stood there and tazed me until I stopped screaming!! Then they cuffed and arrested me and put me in the Border Patrol car while they illegally opened my whole car and trunk and searched it!!! ILLEGALLY!!! They had no warrant and no reason to search it!!

In the video, Cooke is heard screaming for more than a minute for the tasing to stop.

In an interview with WWNY-TV, she said,

"When I was getting tazed it felt like forever. It felt like a good 2 minutes and she wouldn’t stop till I stopped screaming. It hurt so bad. And then she reassured me that 'we have to go through this for our training.’ It’s like…OK. What’s your point? And then they pretty much threw it my face about me being a law enforcement student, about the laws and what is right. Because when they were searching…because I gave ‘em hell. I gave’em hell when they put me in the cop car. I wasn’t going to back down, I had no reason to.”

According to Cooke, following a search Border Patrol officers found nothing of concern in her car or trunk.

Shelby Benson-Fuller, a spokesman for U.S. Border Patrol Swanton sector, says a public response to the incident is being prepared at this hour.

Roadside checkpoints have become commonplace on roads leading away from the U.S.-Canada border throughout the North Country. U.S. Border Patrol says they are used to find undocumented immigrants, drugs, and potential terrorists.

Us Custom's and Border Protection released the following statement on the incident:

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection is investigating a report from the U.S. Border Patrol’s Swanton Sector about an altercation between an individual and two Border Patrol agents at a checkpoint on Thursday, May 7. The altercation followed a brief verbal exchange between the individual and the two agents regarding their intent to inspect the vehicle.”
