Woman Uses Taser In Attempts To Steal Puppy For Sale

In Florida, a couple had some puppies for sale but this lady wasn't buying. 58 year old Sally Schweitzer saw an ad on Craigslist for some Australian Shepherd pups for sale and wanted one. So She set up a time to meet the couple that had the pups. When Sally met up with the couple, she stayed at their home for an hour and a half before the man told her to buy the dog or go. They were asking $1200 for the puppy, but Sally didn't have it. That's when she pulled a taser from her purse and told them she was taking the puppy. After threatening to "take them down", she lunged at the couple, but the man was able to deflect the attack. She took off in her car, leaving the couple to call 911. They gave a description of the car, and police were able to find it quickly. When they searched the car, they found the taser and a 9mm handgun. When questioned, Sally told the cops that she wanted to buy the puppy, but didn't have enough cash, and tried to talk them down on price.She later admitted that she didn't have any money at all and planned on stealing the puppy from them. She apologized and said she wan't thinking clearly.
