A mentally ill woman who died after a stun gun was used on her at the
Fairfax County jail in February was restrained with handcuffs behind her
back, leg shackles and a mask when a sheriffs deputy shocked her four
times, incident reports obtained by The Washington Post show.

Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid declined to comment on the case but
defended the use of a stun gun on a restrained prisoner, saying it was a
means that is often useful to ensure the safety of a person rather than
using physical force to gain compliance. She said stun guns were used
occasionally on prisoners who are already restrained.
.
But four law enforcement experts interviewed by The Post questioned why a
Taser was used on a restrained woman, how many times she was shocked and
whether handling a mentally ill person with such force was the best
approach.
.
They didnt need to confront her this way. They made it worse, said
McKennas mother, Marlene Williams, in the familys first interview about
the case. She was mentally sick.
.
Within minutes of being shocked by the Taser, McKenna stopped breathing.
The reports show that jail deputies were unable to revive her using CPR
and that her heart was stopped for about 20 minutes before paramedics
revived her in the ambulance en route to Inova Fairfax Hospital. Her heart
then stopped three more times over the next hour before she was
stabilized, according to the sheriffs deputies reports.

Fairfax police picked her up on that charge early Jan. 26 and took her to
the Fairfax jail. McKennas mental state was poor, and the deputies reports
show that she had brief, violent incidents with deputies Jan. 27 and Jan.
31, including one in which a deputy was scratched. McKenna also repeatedly
urinated or defecated on her cell floor, the reports show, which is
treated as a biohazard by the jail.
.
But because McKenna was technically Alexandrias prisoner, Fairfax could
not petition a magistrate to have her placed in mental health care. Over
the next week, Kincaid said, Fairfax deputies called Alexandria police
three times seeking to have McKenna picked up, but Alexandria did not do
so.
