A Real Spark of Genius
A teacher at Liberty Preparatory School in Smithville, Ohio, couldn’t get one of her students to wake up. Neither could the interim principal, Jenna Parnell. So the school resource officer, Maryssa Bososki, tried. “She did take her Taser, remove the cartridge from it, and arced the Taser,” causing sparks, said Police Chief Howard Funk.
