HOUSTON (CBSDFW.COM) – Several Houston-area deputies are under investigation after they used a Taser a wheelchair-bound woman outside a gas station.

"But when I came to, I was like face down or whatever and my leg was underneath me," said Sheketha Holman, who argued with deputies as they arrested her daughter for marijuana possession.

Holman admitted cursing at deputies, but said tasing her took it too far. She was charged with resisting arrest and trespassing.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office is investigating to see if the deputies violated policy.
