KANSAS CITY - Police said Friday that two officers had been disciplined and department policy changed following an investigation into the officers' use of a Taser when arresting a woman who honked her car horn at a police cruiser.

Louise Jones, 66, was arrested in June on charges of misuse of a car horn on a city street, resisting arrest and intentionally inflicting bodily harm on an officer. Her husband, Fred Jones, 74, was also arrested and charged with interfering with an arrest.

Police said Louise Jones scuffled with officers when they tried to give her a ticket for honking the horn. One of the officers used the Taser, which is capable of issuing a 50,000-volt shock, to stun her. The officers said Fred Jones then came downstairs and jumped on one of the officers' backs.

Louise Jones said she pulled away from the police when one of the officers grabbed her arm, and her husband said one of the officers had his knee on his wife's chest.
