Best Scandal
TIE: Stephen Moser; Elderly Lady Gets Tazed
In the case of 72-year-old Kathryn Winkfein, who was shot with a Taser by Precinct 3 Deputy Constable Christopher Bieze in May for – the nerve! – refusing to sign a ticket for speeding (60 mph in a 45 mph zone), the scandalous behavior is clear. She's 72! You're a big grown man – a peace officer no less! Get a grip! So embarrassing is Travis County's most recent Taser incident that the story actually made it onto Comedy Central's Colbert Report. Yikes! But in the case of the Chron's own fashionista Stephen MacMillan Moser, we're left to wonder: Is the scandal here that he is charged with setting a friend's car on fire in the City Hall parking garage or that he allegedly did so while wearing black leather pants and a big white fur coat?
