New Hampshire Woman Tased by Police for Trying to Buy Too Many iPhones

Blood-curdling screams stunned holiday shoppers at a New Hampshire mall this week as police tackled a 44-year-old woman to the ground and tased her outside an Apple store. Her offense? She tried to buy too many iPhones and wouldn’t leave the Apple store when asked, according to police.

Xiaojie Li of Newton, Massachusetts, said she bought two iPhones at the Apple store in Nashua’s Pheasant Lane Mall last week. Store policy wouldn’t allow her to buy more than two phones.

The store restricts iPhone purchases to two per person because of concerns over resellers buying the smartphone and selling them at marked-up prices overseas.

Li, who doesn’t speak English, decided to return to the store on Tuesday to see if she could buy additional phones, despite the policy. She said she planned to give the phones as gifts to her family in China.

When the store refused to sell her more phones, police asked her to leave and she refused, police said. Bruce Hansen of the Nashua Police Department said Li was told repeatedly that she was under arrest but that she refused to submit.
