Deputy Chris Beasy pulled over Catherine Winkfein for speeding on Highway 71 in Bee Cave, Texas. After Winkfein refused to sign the speeding ticket and exited her vehicle near heavy traffic, a physical confrontation ensued. Sergeant Major Gary Griffin defended the deputy's actions, stating the initial push was intended to keep the woman away from the dangerous roadway.

Reporter Steve Lane investigates a massive sprinkler system installation along Highway 71, approximately one mile west of Bee Caves and Ranch Road 620. The investigation reveals over two miles of active sprinklers and four miles of road being watered by tank trucks. Despite local water conservation concerns, these systems reportedly run at all hours of the day and night, creating large puddles and muddy conditions in the area.

The investigation concludes with an analysis of water trucks, estimated at 600-gallon capacity, which service an additional eight to ten miles of roadway including Bee Caves Road (2244). Final tallies across five fire hydrants show a total of 438,500 gallons used over an eight-day period, averaging 10,000 gallons per day per hydrant. Plans are made to compare these figures against the annual usage of an average family of four to highlight the scale of the waste.
