Maricopa Police Department arrested a 70-year-old woman and accused her of threatening to shoot and kill three people Tuesday. 

Officers arrested Debbi M. Parvin after they found the taser in her purse, according to a probable cause statement. 

It was around 4 p.m. when Parvin allegedly started a verbal argument with two adults and a child standing in the driveway of a home on West Carey Drive in Rancho El Dorado. Parvin was inside her car, the police report said. 

Cops said Parvin told the three people they were going to get “tasered or shot.”  

Parvin allegedly told the trio, “I am going to f*cking kill you,” before she pointed a taser at them through her car window and asked, “You want me to do it right now?” 

“I will tase your f*cking *ss right now motherf*cker,” she said, according to witnesses. 

Parvin fled the scene, but police found her at another home on the same street, where she admitted to pointing a taser at the child and two adults. 

Parvin was booked into the Pinal County jail on charges of aggravated assault, threatening and intimidating, endangerment and disorderly conduct. 

She faces nearly seven years in prison.
