Tulsa, Oklahoma - It’s definitely hard times right now. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poor.

Sometimes you look up and it seems like there is no hope, desperation takes over and one decides that something radical must be done.

That was possibly the mindset of 25-year-old Lorna Hampton when she pulled up outside of a Subway chain on April 26, 2012, leaving her 2 small kids in the car while she went inside to rob the place.

Lorna entered the Subway wielding a BB gun and demanding cash from the store employees.  But instead of cash they ended up shocking the ish out of her. 

The entire incident was caught on tape..  On the video you can see Lorna hop over the counter and press buttons on the cash register to open it and get cash when suddenly an employee appears from behind with a taser gun.

He fires, Lorna’s body stiffens instantly upon entrance of the prongs and  her head hits the counter behind her on the way down to the floor.  

As she lay writhing in shock and pain on the cold floor her two-year-old and five-year-old kids were sitting in the hot car outside waiting on their mommy. 

Employees kept the prongs in her while they waited on the police, just incase she tried to get up again.

The kids were later released to a family member. Hampton is facing two counts of child endangerment and robbery with a firearm. Her bail is set at $200,000. 

This is not Hampton’s first run-in with the law. In 2010, she received a deferred sentence on an assault with a dangerous weapon charge, according to court records.
