Police have recently released chilling footage of a woman getting tasered after she entered a Texas jail with an airsoft gun attempting to commit "suicide by cop" for committing a robbery.
According to Action News affiliate Valley Central, Marisela Martinez Zamora walked into the Hidalgo County Jail with a gun Tuesday evening. After tapping the gun on the glass to get an officer's attention, the 53-year-old admitted to stealing $93 from the bail bond office and asked the officer to shoot her. After throwing the money in the air, the woman was taken down by a taser. Sheriff Eddie Guerra told reporters Zamora was previously arrested for making terroristic threats and robbing the local bail bond office.
After tasering Zamora, officers realized the gun was indeed an unloaded airsoft gun.
Zamora was evaluated to see if she has a mental illness. Police believe Zamora's actions were spurred by her daughter being jailed in Hidalgo county. Zamora was free to go after posting $5,000 bail.
