Lemerand then pushed her, and the victim tried to climb a fence in an attempt to get away, the report said. Deputies said Lemerand pulled her legs to prevent her escape, causing her to fall head-first.

The arrest report says that Lemerand grabbed the victim's backpack and threw items around while kicking and punching her. He then grabbed a Taser from her backpack and deployed it several times on the victim, the report said.

The victim tried to call 911, but Lemerand took her phone and fled, deputies said.

Lemerand is being held without bond.
