ORLEANS — A 40-year-old woman from Orleans has been arrested after police say she used a stun gun on an employee at Maplefields during a robbery this morning.
Police were notified at around 6:30 a.m. that a store clerk had been the victim of a robbery.
The clerk reported that the suspect had stunned her multiple times with a taser-type electric stun gun.
The suspect fled the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
