Boone left before the police arrived, but the police found her walking down the street, according to the documents. The police say she ignored his command to stop and fought them when they tried to arrest her. The police ended up hitting her with a stun gun before she was finally handcuffed.
In the documents, officials said they found Boone in three previous domestic violence incidents. They also indicated that Boone is an alcoholic and was under the influence of alcohol when he hit the children.
