It took a shock from a Taser gun and the efforts of six officers to control a heavily intoxicated woman being transported by ambulance Tuesday night to Enloe Medical Center in Chico.

Orland Police Chief Bob Pasero said Escalante Alejandrina, 26, was found at her Walker Street apartment about 9:30 p.m. possibly suffering from alcohol poisoning.

Westside Ambulance was driving the woman east on Highway 32 when she broke loose from her restraints and assaulted a paramedic.

As the ambulance waited at the highway and County Road M 1Ž2, two Orland police officers, a pair of Glenn County sheriff's deputies and two agents from the Tehama and Glenn Methamphetamine Enforcement Team raced to the scene.

Even with six officers holding her down, Orland Police Chief Bob Pasero said a Taser gun was also needed to subdue the woman and get her back in restraints.

The ambulance proceeded on toward Chico, but Alejandrina escaped from her restraints again at the highway and County Road VV.

Four of the officers got the woman under control after a brief struggle and the ambulance continued on to Enloe, with a couple of officers remaining in the ambulance.

Pasero said his department will request that charges be filed against the woman by the Glenn County district attorney, but said her level of intoxication probably makes that unlikely.

The paramedic attacked by Alejandrina wasn't seriously injured.
