On August 28, Stewart says she was driving on I-35 on her way to work when she saw lights behind her. Being on the highway, she decided to take the nearest exit off on Manor Road and pulled into a well-lit parking lot. There was back and forth between the two for several minutes. Trooper Maini asking her to put her hands behind her back and Stewart pleading with him to tell her why she is being arrested. However, it all came to a head when Maini pulled out his taser and tased Stewart.
