A local Texas police department is standing by an officer who dragged a 77-year-old grandmother out of her car for speeding after she repeatedly refused to provide her driver's license.

The entire arrest was caught on video by the Keene Police Department.

The woman, Lynn Bedford, of nearby Cleburne, was stopped on Aug. 19 for driving 66 mph in a 50-mph zone.

Bedford told Sgt. Gene Geheb that she had a bladder infection and had to go to the bathroom, but the situation quickly escalated when the officer asked several times for her identification and she refused.

"Just hurry up; I have to go to the bathroom," she said.

"Let me see your driver's license and insurance, please," the officer asked.

She declined several times.

"No, I want to see your driver's license and insurance, please, and then I'll listen to you," the officer said.

"I'll give it to you in a minute," she replied.

"No, you give it to me now, or I'm going to take you to jail," he said.

"Well, go ahead," she said.

The officer then pulled her out of her car and handcuffed her.

Bedford's attorney, Clay Graham, of Fort Worth, said the officer overreacted.

"The officer is not very interested in listening to what she has to say," Graham said. "She gets a little frustrated. And then he just overwhelms her. That's what I see. And then it goes from routine stop to ridiculous stop."

Graham said Bedford was injured during the arrest.

He said Bedford is not interested in filing a lawsuit right now but isn't ruling it out in the future.

The lawyer said the woman was returning home from playing the piano at church when the incident occurred.

In a statement, Keene Police Chief Rocky Alberti stood by the officer's actions.

"This incident has been reviewed thoroughly by the Keene Police Department and the City of Keene Administration," Alberti said in a written statement. "All parties have concluded that Sgt. Geheb did not violate any state laws or department policies, and in fact was following department policy in regards to violators not providing identification."

A West Virginia state trooper was shot dead, another was critically wounded, and the suspect they confronted in a traffic stop was also killed in exchanges of gunfire near Charleston on Tuesday night, authorities said.

Details of the two shootouts, which occurred roughly an hour apart along Interstate 79 in Clay County, remained sketchy.

But the deadly chain of events unfolded after a pair of state police officers pulled over a suspect near Wallback, a community about 30 miles northeast of Charleston, and a gunfight ensued, state police Captain Bill Scott said.

The Charleston Gazette newspaper reported that the traffic stop occurred at around 8 p.m. ET. 

According to West Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous, the suspect had been driving erratically, The Associated Press reported.

One trooper was killed and his partner was left in critical condition in the gunfire, Scott said. A tow-truck driver on the scene also was injured.

It was not immediately clear how he was connected to the incident and whether he was struck by gunfire or was otherwise hurt, Scott said.

He was unable to confirm local media reports that the first gunfight erupted when the suspect grabbed the weapon of one of the state troopers.

The suspect then fled a short distance on foot and was subsequently confronted by a sheriff's deputy, Scott said. A second exchange of gunfire at that location left the deputy wounded and the suspect dead. The deputy's injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

The wounded were taken to CAMC General Hospital, the Gazette reported, quoting Baylous.

Baylous also said the names of those involved in the incident would not be released until their families have been notified, the AP reported.

"This being a rural area, we can't put the names out until we get the chance to talk to everybody," he said according to the AP.

"This tragedy reminds us of the sacrifices that our law enforcement officers make every day to keep us safe," West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin said in a statement quoted by local NBC station WBOY.

The incident is under investigation, police said.

BREMERTON, Wash. -- A Washington state trooper was found shot to death following a traffic stop early Thursday.

State Patrol spokesman Monte Simpson said the shooting occurred just outside the Kitsap County town of Gorst, about 10 miles southwest of Bremerton, shortly before 1 a.m. local time (4 a.m. ET).

He said the suspect was still at large.

There was no suggestion of a connection, but on Wednesday in Bremerton an 8-year-old girl was critically wounded by a gunshot.
