Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

September 29, 2009
Kathleen Pastula, a mother of four from El Dorado, California, went to the local Sheriff seeking help with her drug-addicted daughter. Without cause she was arrested, shot with a Taser, stripped naked, and left to wallow in her own waste in an isolation cell.

In February 2008, Mrs. Pastula discovered that her daughter had illegally acquired a large quantity of Xanax, which she intended to trade for narcotics. Pastula sought to talk with the sheriff, only to be rudely rebuffed by a deputy. When the anxious mother persisted, the deputy seized her and shoved her face-first into the floor.

Pastula was then taken to a jail where she was shocked with a Taser, stripped naked, and left shivering in an isolation cell without access to medical treatment or a bathroom, or even a blanket.

Mrs. Pastula recently received a $127,000 settlement from El Dorado County, but no explanation regarding the reflexive criminal violence displayed by her local Sheriff?s Department.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
