Heidi Gill – Watch as 38-year old Heidi Gill is tasered repeatedly and without mercy in this video clip by Ohio police officer Richard Kovack after she was asked to leave a bar near closing time.

Heidi Gill was at the bar where a group from a friend’s wedding reception had gone to continue celebrating. The police officer had not been called to the scene, he just pulled up as bar bouncers escorted Heidi Gill to the parking lot and she tried to drive away in her SUV.

Heidi Gill Taser Video

The Heidi Gill arrest video then shows Kovach getting help from a bystander to pick up a dazed and handcuffed Gill, who begs another bystander for help. Gill is brought to her feet and put in the back of the car, where she is heard yelling the word ‘‘please’’ loudly several times.

Kovach turns the camera to show himself and Gill inside the cruiser. Heidi Gill is screaming for help and at one point lies on her back, kicking at the cruiser’s back door window.

Less than a minute later in the video clip, Kovach opens the back door and uses the Taser to shoot Gill, who continues screaming before getting shot with the Taser gun again. After she’s hit, she swears and stiffens up. Kovach threatens to shoot again if she kicks the window again, saying, ‘‘You’re destroying my cruiser.’’

A woman nearby yells, ‘‘there was no reason…’’ and Kovach tells her to leave before she too is arrested, according to the video.

More officers now arrive, and Kovach orders Gill to walk to the other cruiser. She is jolted again, because Officer Richard Kovach claimed Gill started to run. However, it’s unclear in the recording if she ever started running at all.

Heidi Gill hit the pavement and was knocked unconscious, according to the police report. A man can be heard on the recording saying, ‘‘like magic’’ after the Taser was used on Gill the last time.

Officer Richard Kovack has been relieved of duty pending an internal affairs investigation of the incident. Heidi Gill has filed a lawsuit against Kovack and the Warren Police department.

And that the news on the Heidi Gill taser video incident.
