Shocking footage has emerged of an Ohio woman handcuffed and charged with resisting arrest after sheriff’s deputies pinned her down on the floor pried open her mouth to retrieve a Tylenol tablet.
Surveillance video shows Siobhan Householder, 35, of Akron, being confronted last week by a police officer after she took the prescription medication – the altercation left her injured and arrested.
Householder was in a holding area while waiting to make a court appearance when she took the medication for a tooth infection, she told the Akron Beacon-Journal.

“Tylenol tablet... the prescription medication “
Something’s missing here. Tylenol 3 instead of Tylenol, perhaps?
Thread needs bamahead’s “have you been protected and served today?” photo.
Any cop ever does that to a woman I know and he’ll be a dead cop.
The sheriff’s deputy could have just summarily executed the woman and then went home safely knowing the other officers would cover for him by lying about what happened. More’s the pity there wasn’t a dog to shoot or small child to Taser. Nothing to see here, move on.
Thanks, bamahead. What a perfect addition. Sad situation.
Tell you what, I'm not a suing type person in the least, but I hope she gets the best *ambulance chaser* she can find and sues the crap out of the department.
Poor woman already had an infected tooth so the idiot cop messes up her mouth some more, I hope she gets millions.
Too many government workers are completely happy lving in their little niche in the chain of obedience.
Not only the department but the brutes **personally**!
Why she was there:"A sheriff’s office spokesperson told the paper that Householder was taken into custody earlier in the day on a warrant for failure to appear for a domestic relations case."
Related, did you see this craziness?
Not sure, but I think they're hard to get to personally, maybe some sort of civil suit can be brought.
I didn't see that. It's disgusting. Where do they get these psychos from?
I saw the video and I didn’t see anything malicious on part of the deputy. He witnessed her consuming a pill and didn’t know what that pill was. He didn’t beat her or throw her around or anything else that bad cops do.
The alternative possibility for him, not knowing why the woman consumed a pill was a possible OD.
In this case, I can support the deputy.
According to the story I read, she failed to notify the police that she was carrying prescription medicine.
Why didn’t he just ask her to spit it out, then? It looks like he went full onto her as his FIRST action. He got QUITE physical with her.
I imagine she would have taken this pain medication earlier minus the drama and trauma if she’d known she was “in custody” and what that meant.
re your #36, did she know that she should inform them she had a prescription med? did they search her when she came in, did they ask her?
It’s my understanding that the cop did ask her to spit it out.
Tylenol is the gateway drug to Motrin.
“At 1:39 a guy comes in w/something in his right hand, as if asking them if they need it — do you know what that was?”

Haven’t the foggiest. But at 2:34, when the poor woman appears to have been rendered unconscious laying face down on the floor not moving, one of these brave officers comes in and props his knee and his body weight on the woman’s neck. Quite manly of him—his family must be VERY proud of his valor, kindness and understanding.
