Democratic Illinois Official Accused Of Driving Drunk Allegedly Asked Police Officer Lewd Question Multiple Times

Samantha Steele, a Democratic official on Illinois’s Cook County Board of Review, was arrested Sunday for drunk driving and crashing into another car, Chicago Police records said.

Police allegedly discovered the 45-year-old commissioner prone on the sidewalk near two cars that had “extensive” damage after arriving at the scene, the Chicago Sun Times reported. She confessed to driving into the other vehicle, police said.

Officers found an open bottle of red wine on the passenger side of Steele’s car, according to the records. “I observed her eyes were bloodshot and glassy,” a police officer wrote, according to the outlet. “I also detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her breath as she spoke.”

Steele allegedly refused to carry out field sobriety exams or answer questions related to her consumption of alcohol. “I want my lawyer, and I am not talking to you,” she said, according to law enforcement.

While being taken into custody, she “repeatedly said, ‘Is your penis that small'” to an officer, according to records, the Chicago Sun Times reported. Steele was reportedly hospitalized after saying she suffered pain from head injuries. She is expected to appear in court on Dec. 27, police said.

Steele was elected to the Board of Review, which has authority to review property tax appeals, back in 2022. The commissioner has over 15 years of experience in property valuation and is a certified Level III Assessor/Appraiser, according to the Board of Review’s website. She “previously served as a County Assessor in the state of Indiana, where she was the first Democrat elected county-wide in more than 30 years,” the website noted.

Steele defended employing a former Indiana politician who pleaded guilty in federal court earlier in 2024, the Chicago Sun Times reported. Frank Calabrese, a former aide to Steele, alleged in a whistleblower suit at the federal level that he was fired for cooperating with a county Independent Inspector General investigation into her and her chief of staff and punished for seeking legal advice over a property-tax appeal by the Chicago Bears, WBEZ Chicago reported in July. Steele refused to comment on Calabrese’s allegations in a statement to the outlet beyond saying his suit contained “falsehoods.”

She’s taking a page from the playbook of Hitlery and Nazi Piglosi, I see.

Questioning a LEOs manhood when going to jail is always a great idea.....especially when the audio/video is eventually gonna get played in court.

I have a feeling she wears those ridiculous sunglasses frequently... A box of wine a night will do that to you. And I’m not one to judge my fellow drunks...

Could have been avoided. She should have just substitute the wine for the man-juice.

I’m wondering what kind of wine- I know it’s red wine-it would be a waste if it was a good cab sav or an old vine Zinfandel.

But then what do I care, I don’t drink anymore, anyway.

Can’t wait to see this story on Gutfeld….

Can we assume democrat bimbo who's threatening to deny sex to her cheering husband? Throw me in the briar patch...
