Carolyn J. Daniels

Less-than-lethal force

Daniels claimed that she was being followed and begged Officer R.A. Elston for help. When he asked for her identification, Daniels told the officer to look in her purse. Officer Elston found a crack pipe, then tried to arrest Daniels. She resisted. Officer Elston shot her twice with a stun gun. Daniels died at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital. Cocaine was present in her system.
