GLENDALE, Calif., June 15 (UPI) -- An Arizona Coyotes fan upset with her mayor for terminating the team's lease agreement took out her frustration by Tasing the official for charity.

Ronda Pearson used the Taser on Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers at a local mall Saturday after she and fellow Coyotes fans raised the $10,000 Weiers sought for a charity benefiting first responders.

Pearson became a local hero to Coyotes fans after she gave an impassioned speech to the city council in response to its Wednesday vote to end the city's arena lease agreement with the Coyotes.

The termination was temporarily halted by a judge Friday.

Weiers was examined by a medical team after the stun gun stunt to ensure he was not injured.
