72 year old woman tasered by police officer
June 10, 8:12 PM
Police Officer Beizie tasers 72 year old Kathryn WinkfeinA 72-year-old woman, Kathryn Winkfein, was tasered after a routine traffic stop that was anything but routine. Winkfein was driving 15 miles over the speed limit in Austin, Texas when she was pulled over by Officer Chris Beizie. When he asked her to sign a speeding ticket, Winkfein, who was driving 60 miles instead of the limit of 45 mph, refused.
Here is a narrative of the incident.
Officer Beizie warns, “Step back or you’re going to be tasered.â€
Winkfein responds, "I dare you."
“Step back over there.†The officer points, waits, then appears to throw the ticket book on the ground.
“Put your hands behind your back,†he grabs Winkfein by the arm. “Put your hands behind your back.†Winkfein breaks free from the officer’s grip.
"I’m getting back in my car.†Winkfein tries to move past the officer but he grabs her and pushes her back. Raising his taser gun he demands,
"You’re going to be tased, stop.â€
Again, Winkfein states,“I’m getting back in my car.â€
The officer’s taser gun is raised and pointed at Winkfein.
Officer Beizie moves in, fires and demands Winkfein to get on the ground. Moments later you hear her writhing and moaning in pain. The officer demands,
“Now put your hands behind your back.†Winkfein, still groans as the officer demands a second time.
“Put your hands behind your back or you’re going to get tazed again.â€
The officer continues to demand for Winkfein to put her hands behind her back. Her voice, muffled, whimpers,
“I’m trying.â€
Authorities have said that Winkfein was not seriously injured. Officer Chris Beizie’s superior, Sergeant Major Gary Griffin, stated that Officer Beizie acted appropriately. The dash cam video was released by the Travis County Constables Office. Kathryn Winkfein has threatened to sue over the incident.
