Deputy Cleared After Tasering Elderly Woman

Travis County Deputy Constable Christopher Bieze has been cleared of any wrongdoing after he shot a 72-year-old woman with a Taser last May.

A grand jury in the county declined to indict Bieze on a charge of injury to an elderly person. Bieze was captured on his patrol car's dash-cam arguing with Kathryn Winkfein after a speeding stop on Texas Hwy. 71 in western Travis County. Winkfein was shown daring Bieze to use his Taser gun on her.

An internal investigation found that Bieze wasn't in violation of any county policies. He was not disciplined in the incident.
