An elected official in Chicago was arrested Sunday after crashing her car while drunk and reportedly questioning a police officer over the size of his penis.
Samantha Steele, a 45-year-old Commissioner of the Cook County Board of Review, was arrested around 8:50 p.m. in the 5000 block of North Ashland Avenue, near the Winnemac and Wolcott Gardens neighborhoods of Chicago, police confirmed to Newsweek.
She was charged with a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The Democrat told police that she crashed her Dodge Charger into a parked Subaru Forester while making a wide right turn, according to a report obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
An open bottle of red wine was found on her passenger side floor when police arrived. Steele was found lying on the sidewalk.
"I observed her eyes were bloodshot and glassy," an officer wrote in the report. "I also detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her breath as she spoke."
According to police, the commissioner allegedly refused to perform field sobriety tests when requested. When officers asked her how much she had to drink, Steele reportedly responded, "I want my lawyer, and I am not talking to you."

Looks like she sobered up a bit before the picture was taken...
Seems consistent with her apparent penis envy.
Typical democrats, the party of sex.
Can’t read that without playing Air-Bass! LOL
“the generally low-grade human beings that wind up being public officials”
Especially in Crook County.
It was, but The Temptations sang on it in the background, that’s why he yelled out “Temptations Sing!”.
******************
I was gonna question you too. Good idea I read the rest of the comments before I opened my big mouth.LOL
“Drunk person says something stupid. Wakes up with regret. News at 11.”
She looks like Gretchen.
Me she was looking for a driver.
🎶”Baby, you can drive my car…”🎶
“Can’t Touch This!”
_Maybe_ she was looking for a driver…
I’m sure the city will arrange transportation. A train pass? Vouchers for cabs? More likely, a paid driver. And she wouldn’t think of abusing that privilege....
“...She’s a Super Freak...Super Freak....”
As is all of Chicago/Cook County government.
I’d say yeah, but I’m proud of every foot of it!😎
Looks like she will be making a few zoom calls for official business until she gets fired.
No matter what you say, you can’t have it.
Another one is the "Fireball" song, and yet another one is the "Hot Hot Hot" song!
I know people who just hate both of these songs, but...I feel like I want to drink a few shots and party when I hear them...:)
I am sure we have someone who will post “She looks like she cleans up nicely!”
The Bass Line for “Super Freak” is so cool that it has been reused at least twice, “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer, and “The Right Stuff” by the New Kids on the Block.
It’s one of the first bass lines I teach my students. :-)
