FORT GIBSON, An Oklahoma officer was stabbed by a woman with a pair of scissors as he conducted a traffic stop.

Officer Brent Maddocks of the Fort Gibson Police Department had stopped an SUV for an expired tag when a female suspect approached him from behind and began slashing him.

The woman, identified as 26-year-old Jessica Lugo, was on a smoke break at a nearby factory when she approached the officer.

Maddocks drew his firearm but made the decision not to fire his weapon near the family of four sitting in the SUV. Instead, he deployed a TASER, according to the report.

"It's an experience, and we take it, and we learn from it and we adapt and overcome," said Maddocks.

Maddocks was wearing a protective vest and did not suffer any injuries, according to the Muskogree Phoenix.

Lugo was arrested and booked into the Muskogee County/City Detention Facility on a complaint of assault and battery with a deadly weapon on a police officer.

Police said there was no correlation between the traffic stop and the stabbing.

She must have wanted to go to prison.

Evil cunt. Hope someone stabs her!!

I'd hit her where it hurts most! i.e. take her food away.

I get the impression this was attempted suicide-by-cop. Unfortunately for her, and fortunately for us, this cop reacted appropriately.

to be fair though shooting her would have been a reasonable response

Have to admit, the cops do seem to have it a bit arse-about don't they?

"He's got a walking stick! Blam blam blam! Oh, she stabbed me in the back with a pair of scissors. Taser."

In reality, he should have shot her. That the copper used a Taser to put her down was a major risk to his safety and anyone who might have attempted to help him. Tasers usually work great, but not always. Depending on her mental state or prior use of drugs she might well have killed that officer. Shooting her would have been appropriate. It turned out well in this case.
