FRANKLIN -- A 68-year old Ohio great grandmother is suing after she was Tasered several times by police.

Surveillance video shows Beverly Kidwell being Tasered by a Franklin, Ohio police officer.

She says she was in the police lobby waiting to talk to an officer, but decided to leave because it was taking so long.

Kidwell says that?s when an officer came out and told her she couldn?t leave, then he Tasered her five times.

?I thought he was going to kill me ... and then the next thing, he shot me again and he kept saying all the time, 'get up, get up' and I couldn?t ... it paralyzes your body,? Kidwell said.

The police are not commenting on the story, but according to the police report, Kidwell hit her granddaughter and was being arrested.

The officer says she resisted and that?s why she was Tasered.
