My girlfriend came to get her things at 2 a.m. and I tasered her.?

My girlfriend and I broke up, and it didn't end well. We haven't been speaking since, but I told her to get her things from my apartment. She ended up coming over at 2 a.m. I was asleep and I heard the door creaking open. I panicked, I thought I had not locked the door and someone was breaking in, so I grabbed my taser, walked into the living room toward the door and I was startled from behind, turned around and tasered her. Now she is trying to sue, and her new boyfriend wants to get me. What do you think I should do.

    File criminal charges for breaking and entering. It is almost impossible for her to win a lawsuit against you for injuries while in commission of a felony.

    The "new boyfriend" will likely move along while she's in jail, but I'd still carry that Taser for a while just in case.

    She is lucky you're not here in Oklahoma, you could have shot her dead while in the apartment and you would have been immune from prosecution and litigation.

    LOL!! poor girlfriend...

    I actually think that if the apartment is yours, then no one else has the right to enter without your persmission, and much less at such a suspicious hour when you are asleep. You might have gone too far with the taser, but what if it had been a robber? Since you had no prior knowledge of her coming over, I can understand how you felt startled and tasered her.

    Hey, if some unknown person, was in MY apartment while Im asleep, damn right im grabbing my bat. She also sounds psycho to me if she is coming to get her stuff at 2 AM, alone, to her ex-boyfriend's, whom she hasent spoken to.

    You have a long way to go to make up for that. First of all, why is she coming over at 2am? Second point is what the hell are you doing with a taser? Don't you know those things are dangerous? People have been killed with tasers! Maybe you should get the rest of her things together and deliver them to her along with a heartfelt apology and a peace offering, like a nice gift. All you can do after that is hope that she can find it in her heart to forgive you and get on with her life. If she has your keys you had better get them back.

    If her new bf is out to get you, use the taser on him. Or maybe invest in a pair of brass knuckles. As far as her suing you, get a lawyer . If the property is under your name, not hers, you can explain to the court that you weren't expecting someone to gently creep into your house at 2 a.m., be it ex-girlfriend or not, and you were quite convinced that it was a dangerous intruder and acted accordingly. At least it wasn't a freggin' gun, right?

    argue self defense you were startled out of your sleep tasered inside your door.... you broke up with her but didnt take your keys back? most likely you have an a s s kicking from new guy who picks there stuff up at 2 a,m, was it a booty call?

    Clearly it sounds like an accident. If the details in your question are 100% true, then even if she sues you'll be fine. Not only was she on your property but it seems as if you really had no way of finding out who it was until after the tasing. If you get too worried call your lawyer. As goes for her boyfriend, avoid him or tell him or her to tell him that you'll take him to court if he does anything, regardless if she takes you for the tasing. Hope I helped. Good Luck!

    You TASERED her? That's hysterical. She deserves it anyway for sneaking in at 2 am. I mean, who does that? If she really serves you papers, get a lawyer, otherwise ignore the threat and get a new phone number if necessary.

    What is she suing for? She would have to be able to show damages. As far as I know, tasers cause no permanent damage. Even if she sues, her case won't hold up.

    **** her new boyfriend. Taser his a.ss too.

    Woooaa. I've never heard something like that before. I suggest you get a lawyer if she is going to sue and say you were in an act of self-defense
