Cops drag grandma, 77, out of vehicle

A Texas grandma was pulled over for speeding, but she says the traffic stop left her bruised and battered.

Lynn Bedford, 77, was driving home from church when she was pulled over. The officer repeatedly asked her for her ID but Bedford wouldn’t comply, saying she was in urgent need of a restroom. The incident escalated and ended with the officer pulling Bedford from the car.

The Keene Police Department and the city are standing behind the officer, saying he did nothing wrong and followed policy.
