She Allegedly Went on a Simple Jog in Her Toe Shoes. So Why Did She End Up...in Handcuffs?

It allegedly started with her jogging in her toe shoes and sporting headphones. It ended in video of her screaming and being led away in handcuffs. What happened in between is a matter of debate, but video showing parts of the incident is certainly gaining traction online.

Whatever the woman did to get the attention of Austin, Texas police, a witness’ video of cops detaining her on a city sidewalk Thursday morning then escorting her to a nearby squad car indicate she was not happy with their actions.

Student Chris Quintero, who the Daily Texan reported witnessed the arrest, said he saw the woman jogging with headphones on when police ran after her. When the woman failed to stop, the officer grabbed her by the arm and handcuffed her, Quintero said.

I don't carry ID except when I am operating a motor vehicle on public roads. That's the only time. Ever.

Same here.

Hypothermia. It was after the slip fall off the mountain during the blizzard thing. The guys that finally found me cut me out of the wet clothing. Nice of 'em.

I did later ask each of them if they felt they owed me a tip or anything.... I wasn't conscious.

If that wasn't meant to be sarcasm, you won't be on my side of the wall when the shooting starts.

She might have over reacted, but it sounds like a jaywalking sting operation.

This would be my guess as well. Liberal cities are cash strapped with all of their social programs and have to raise funds somehow, even if it means hunting down jay walkers.

If you are a communist NYC mayor however you can break all the traffic laws you like.

Jogging while wearing headphones is pretty stupid. She probably needed the education she just got.

A little taser therapy might work here too! Make blondy jump around her cage a bit...She will obey...

Probably right about that. In the Spanish Civil War the anarchists fought along side the communists - at least until the commies thought they had won, and which point they disposed of their allies.

There is no doubt that jogging would be considered outlandish behavior and highly suspicious to these two tubbies.

Isn't that the same fetish that Cinderella's boyfriend had?

You should not be falling off mountains (that’s one of those X-Game Sports right?) during blizzards. You need to better choose a time to fall off mountains than that.

I’m glad you survived, FR needs you!

You show an impeccable level of ignorance that only a true fool would deem worthy of debate.

Stop making laws that allow cops to stop citizens.

I’m out of suggestions about how to get control of these knotheads.”

More than a few of them need to be put down. Hard.
