HOUSTON (KTRK) -- We have new information in a widow's battle over benefits following the death of her firefighter husband. A lawsuit first called into question the legality of her marriage because she, the widow, was born a man. And we've learned she does have a history of legal problems.
We first brought you the exclusive interview with Nikki Araguz on Monday. Her husband was killed in a fire earlier this month. She told Eyewitness News her husband was well aware of her operation, despite a lawsuit from his mother and ex-girlfriend that claims otherwise.
This case has raised a lot of questions about how law enforcement classifies inmates, particularly here at the Harris County Jail, where the firefighter's widow was booked seven times since the early 1990's - sometimes as a man, others as a woman. But even when classified as a woman, she was apparently held in a male cell.

I mean.. "driving with a suspended license" and "theft"... ooooo a haaardened criminal...
Failure to ID!
String of expletives goes here.
It's just so.. very... very.. very.. stupid, pointless, irrelevant, etc..
Has Nothing to do with the actual conflict at hand.

Except perhaps to distract from the more important facts of the case! Such as; transpeople have no inheritance rights ::)

Yet another outstanding example of unbiased journalism!
"This just in..It appears lawyers for the fire department insurance company have also ordered the painting of a scarlet "T" on Nikki's chest; if that is in fact "her" chest.. Kevin back to you" ;D
Where are the flag waving hyperdramatic fire fighter's widow ->-bleeped-<-s of 2001 when you need them????
