Worst Buy

Elizabeth Beeland went to a Daytona Beach, Florida, Best Buy to get a CD player for her father. While there, she got an emergency call about her daughter and she stepped outside to take the call, leaving her credit card behind. For some reason, this made a clerk think Beeland was using a stolen credit card, and the clerk spoke to police officer Claudia Wright. Wright approached Beeland, whom she says was "verbally profane" towards her. So Wright Tased her. Wright then arrested Beeland for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. But not for credit card fraud. The card Beeland left behind was, in fact, her own.
