The cuffs theory I've only just heard today for the first time.
Prior to this, the lore around this was that crooked was shitting herself (having earlier almost passed out), and her hands were behind her back trying to not let anything fly loose. When being pulled forwards to be thrown in the van, it left her famous shoe behind that has subsequently been the shining star referenced in every Ben Garrison comic featuring the crooked one.
Metal dropping from what it looked like a pant leg was postulated to be an ankle or leg brace or support of some kind particular to people with her level of infirmity.
