Topic: Chris Beasy

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.

Deputy Chris Beasy serves as the lead taser instructor for Travis County Constable Precinct 3, responsible for training the entire organization on use-of-force protocols. Sergeant Major Gary Griffin cited the Sheriff’s own policy manual to justify the deputy's conduct during the arrest of Catherine Winkfein. Winkfein has since retained an attorney and has declined to comment publicly on the incident.
