HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A woman accused of destroying three paintings and two sculptures belonging to Houston attorney Tony Buzbee and causing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage appeared in court.

Lindy Layman, 29, has been charged with criminal mischief.

According to details that came out in court, Layman and Buzbee were on a date Saturday when she became heavily intoxicated and they returned to his home.

Buzbee believed she was too intoxicated and called an Uber driver to pick her up. She allegedly refused to leave and hid in his home. That's when Buzbee called a second Uber driver.

Per the information read in court, Layman was aggressive toward the second Uber driver, walked back into Buzbee's home and shouted, "I'm not leaving." That's when she allegedly poured red wine on his paintings and ripped them off the wall, then threw his sculptures on the ground.

The paintings apparently include an Andy Warhol original. According to court documents, the resulting damage cost at least $300,000.

I’d be willing to bet, she has another job on the side.
Either that or her name is “Tiffany” and she’s a hair stylist.

Obviously not an “art-adorer.”

But definitely a bad breaker-upper.

Maybe there is more to the story... He refused to pay her for services rendered!

Everyone’s an art critic.

She couldn’t have just said,

“I find Warhol to be gauche.”?

Looks like he dodged a bullet with this one. If she was his wife, this would have been extra expensive for him. :)

That’s what you get when you book a “date” thru Tinder.

Avoid all women at the upper right hand corner of the hot/crazy matrix.
