In a widely-circulated video, Austin police were seen detaining and ultimately arresting Amanda Jo Stephen, 24, after she crossed an intersection at a red light while jogging. Wearing headphones and sporting a pair of toe shoes, the 24-year-old initially failed to obey orders from an officer after he saw her jaywalking.
Acevedo appeared to trivialize the viral arrest Friday, defending his officers for their actions and contending that what they did wasn’t too bad, considering the things other officers from different departments allegedly do while on duty.

Hey Art, how would you feel if that had been your daughter?
So, yes , jaywalking is a crime, with a ticket. Jogging with earphones is common practice, so "not complying" can be volume controlled. Jaywalking is a victimless crime; she does it in the wrong place/time, it's a self curing problem, or non- problem.
Somebody just wanted to wrestle with a hot chick that day is all...
