An officer with the Ozark (Ark.) Police Department used his Taser stun gun on a 10-year-old girl who resisted taking a shower, after the girl's mother authorized the officer to use the less-lethal weapon, USA Today reports.

The incident brought calls from the town's mayor for an investigation of the department by the state police or FBI; both agencies have declined. The girl was apparently not hurt.
