I watched the video! It reminded me of my great grandmother! She would've DARED

the officer to SHOOT HER! She would've raised ALL SORTS OF H---, that the

officer would have benefited more from either leaving or SHOOTING HIMSELF(LOL)!

She was feisty, but had a HEART OF GOLD!

Great-grandmother dares deputy to use Taser on her -- so he does

By JIM VERTUNO

The Associated Press

Cursing and belligerent, the great-grandmother refused to sign her

speeding ticket, got out of her truck and dared a deputy to shock her

with a Taser.

So he did.

Video released by a County

constable’s office shows 72-year-old Winkfein hitting the

ground and moaning while the shocks jolted through her body during the

May 11 confrontation with Deputy Constable Bieze.

Winkfein

was stopped for driving 60 mph in a 45-mph zone just west of Austin. A

dashboard camera in the deputy’s car recorded the 4-foot-11 Winkfein

refusing to sign her speeding ticket, getting out of her white pickup

and cursing at the deputy constable.

Bieze then is shown pushing

her to get her away from traffic. " You’re going to shove a 72-year-old

woman, " Winkfein says angrily, standing inches from the deputy.

" If you don’t step back, you’re going to get Tased, " Bieze says.

" Go ahead, Tase me, " Winkfein says. " I dare you. "

The video shows Bieze using the Taser.

" Put your hands behind your back or you’re going to be Tased again, " Bieze

yells, and then hits her with another jolt. Winkfein

was eventually arrested and faces a charge of resisting arrest, a

misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and fines up to $4,000. A

telephone message left with Constable Sgt. Maj. of the

constable’s office was not immediately returned Wednesday.

Winkfein told Austin television station KTBC that she didn’t believe she

deserved to be shocked. " I wasn’t argumentative, I was not combative. This is

a lie. All of this is a lie, " she told the station. has defended

Bieze’s actions and said Winkfein was belligerent and difficult to handle.
