Video: 72 Year Old Woman Tasered in Traffic Stop

The case of a 72-year-old woman being tasered in Texas has sparked controversy over whether the officer was right in using the weapon.

The incident started when Kathryn Winkfein was stopped for going 60 mph in a 45 mph zone. Deputy Chris Bieze issued Winkfein a ticket and under Texas law the ticket must be signed by the driver. Winkfein refused to sign the ticket and Deputy Bieze had her step out of her car to arrest her, the consequence for not signing the ticket.

Winkefein then agreed to sign the ticket but Bieze refused and threatened to use the taser if she did not “step back.” The verbal disagreement escalated to Bieze shoving the woman. Winkefein then turned to get back in her truck when Bieze used the taser.

Winkefein was arrested for resisting arrest. The Travis County Sheriff’s stands by Bieze’s actions.
