The accused animal hoarder who calls herself Anita Gilbert has been Tazered in jail. Cynthia Gudger is in jail on animal cruelty charges and due in court Tuesday for a determination of whether she's mentally competent to stand trial on the charges.
The Sheriff's Department says she was banging her walker against the door of her cell and refused to stop.
Authorities say they Tazed her because they felt she might injure herself or damage the door.
Gudger was checked out by a doctor at Kern Medical Center.
All inmates who are Tazered are checked out by doctors at KMC.
Meantime, dozens of Gudger's animals are up for adoption at the Kern County Animal Shelter.
The animals were seized from her home in July.
The animals are up for adoption because Gudger failed to pay $100,000 billed to her for the care of the animals.
