Shocking video shows the moment cops tasered and forced a heavily pregnant woman to the ground after she'd called them for help in a fender bender incident.
Cell phone footage shows Lucinda White, 29, being wrestled to the ground of a Best Buy parking lot in Springfield, Ill. on Saturday.
She had dialed 911 after she and boyfriend Frederic Thomas, 31, started arguing with another man they accused of hitting her car.
A police report states the pair were "actively fighting" with an officer when reinforcements arrived - and that agents repeatedly told Thomas to stop yelling and cursing.
When the duo did not calm down, cops claim White was pulling on the officer.
He then ordered her to the ground, but she screamed out she was pregnant - which led him to use the stun gun on her thigh.
The video clip, taken by another driver in the parking lot, runs from the moment White tries to separate Thomas from the officer.
White told KSDK she "did not touch a police officer."
But she was still arrested alongside her partner, with both now accused of aggravated battery and resisting arrest.
A $350 bond was set for Thomas, none was set for White, and they were both released from Sangamon County Jail on Sunday evening. They will appear in court in May.
