But before [the deputy] could get very far with his explanation, Ms. Thomas held up her right arm. There was no phone in it. There had never been a phone in it because she has no right hand.

He switched to claiming it was her left hand, but she didn't let him get away with that, since he was 100% confident before, and just kept checking as if he didn't switch.

Of course, right and left hands are in different places, so the thought of her using her left hand to be on her phone on her right side while simultaneously driving with no hands at all is ridiculous.
