On Sunday, Elkins got her chance with the help of Newark police. Elkins fired a stun gun at Sgt. Doug Bline, who volunteered for the task.

“It’s unpleasant, to say the least, but for five seconds, if it makes somebody’s dream come true – especially in her situation – I think it was well worth it,” Bline told WCMH.
