A school resource officer woke up a student by activating a Taser.
The boy at Liberty Preparatory School in Smithville, Ohio refused to wake up for his teacher or the principal so they called in Officer Maryssa Boskoski.
To their surprise, the rogue officer pulled out her Taser, removed the cartridge and activated it.
She didn't actually shock the student - but the sparking sound and noise from the other students woke the sleeping boy.
No probes were deployed and the teenager wasn't hurt.
Boskoski, who worked part time, has been placed on unpaid leave.
Smithville Police Chief Howard Funk said he was 'disappointed' and will meet with the town's solicitor to determine if any charges should be filed.
The school principal wrote a letter to parents explaining what had happened and reassuring them that student safety was her priority.
Boskoski couldn't be reached for comment.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Officer Boskoski must have fallen asleep during Taser 101 and no one was able to wake her up.

I hate the term rogue officer. Why was a police officer brought in? There was no law broken. Sometimes school officials should handle small situations before calling the police. If I were the principal and I couldn't wake a student up through ordinary means, I would call an ambulance and let his parents pay the bill!
The officer didn't tase anyone.
