He’s an outspoken Conservative patriot and he had just announced he was running in the primaries for Governor of Texas when his wife found herself at the center of a bizarre police stop.
Mrs. West had not been drinking. She cooperated with the breathalyzer, but the night STILL ended with her in handcuffs and her infant grandson, who was in the car, getting brought home by someone else.
Not only was she not intoxicated, but she’d also had nothing to drink besides water and lemonade — she even had the receipt to prove it.
ClashDaily covered that saga as it unfolded, here it is in chronological order:

Just the News kept digging into that story. They got the bodycam footage in which it is clear she was NOT swaying while walking a straight line, and that she had cooperated with the breathalyzer test.
The video, obtained by Just the News under an open records request, also shows officers administered Angela West a breathalyzer and expressed surprise it did not show her above the legal limit, but then omitted the existence of that test from the official police report they filed before all charges were dropped by prosecutors.
After reviewing the two hours of footage, former Commissioner of the New York Police Department Bernard Kerik said the video unearthed by Just the News raises troubling questions about whether Angela West’s arrest last August was warranted.
“The whole thing stinks of harassment or abuse of power,” said Kerik, normally an ardent supporter of law enforcement. — JustTheNews
Here is Allen West responding to the newly-released bodycam footage on Just the News’s television program.
Now that we know WHAT happened, the real question is WHY did it happen.
Was this a personal grudge?
Was it political?
Was this entirely on her own initiative or at the suggestion of someone else?
The allegations have long since been dismissed. But the incident that wrongfully put a grandmother handcuffs is far from being ‘resolved’.
In Doug Giles’ latest book, Biblical Badasses: The Women, Giles spotlights ten epic ladies who did awesome things for God with the odds severely stacked against them. These girls weren’t your typical church ladies. They were holy movers and shakers who upset hell with their God-honoring, faith-filled, lives. Giles’ unique take on these terrific women makes the scripture come alive. This book is real, raw, relevant, and irreverent. Giles’ prayer is that after reading, Biblical Badasses: The Women, not only will your noggin be filled with these amazing tales of high and lows from real women who rocked in a hard place, via the power of God, but that you will get off your butt, quit pursuing stupidity, start chasing down your high calling and at the end of your life, you too, like the holy femme fatales featured herein, will have left a massive scar on Satan’s haggard backside.
