Perez, who is running for a state House seat, admitted to officers that she’d drank “some wine,” but she declined a field sobriety test. She allegedly struck a parked car on Aug. 11 just past midnight. She’s now been charged with a DUI, with a refusal enhancement, according to Fox News.
“Did you get into an accident here?” an officer asked Perez on camera.
“I did not,” Perez said, adding, “I don’t know. I’ve never been in an accident before.”
The candidate said she had one glass of wine at a friend’s business on Tacoma Avenue South.
“So it’s a series of tests that I take you through to make sure to see if you’re impaired by alcohol, or you’re not. Are you okay with doing that? It’s totally voluntary,” the officer eventually asked.
Perez refused and said she wanted to go home.
“You’re not going to go home first. I’m going to tell you that right now, okay? So your options between the test, yes or no, that’s going to be determined tonight, right now, not when you go home. So would you like to take these tests or no?” the officer asked and Perez refused a field sobriety test again, according to the footage.
She can be seen on camera saying she’s confused as she’s placed in cuffs following multiple refusals for a test.
“Help me, God. Help me. Help me. Holy Spirit, help me, God,” she can be heard saying inside the police vehicle.
Perez is running in the 29th Legislative District, Position 1, and she’s set to face incumbent Democratic State Rep. Melanie Morgan in November.
Nicely positioned CleavageCam(TM)!
She knows her political aspirations are deader than a doornail.
“You’re in big trouble, Missy! Just wait till I tell your Campaign Director! Did you know that a film of your arrest is already on YouTube?”
LOL......on youtube? Her goose is really cooked.
Why is she sad? One’s crime record is an asset when serving in the most vile, sleazy and untrustworthy politicaL party in the multiverse. The only folks in that loathsome party who are even more untrustable are the muzzies - who bring a whole new level of lying, misogyny and murder to the forefront. (Yes, even more murder than the Ted Kennedy and the Hillabeast.)
Don’t you know who I am?
She tried the ol’ “One glass of wine” defense. How unoriginal.
Add her to the rouge's gallery of female Dem officer holders who have been arrested for DUI. At least she wasn't put in a straight jacket like Rosemary Lehmberg.
In other words six of one, the half dozen of the other.
“she’s set to face incumbent Democratic State Rep. Melanie Morgan in November”.
I’m making a reasoned, logical deduction that it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference whether she loses the nomination or the incumbent keeps it. The voters are going to get the shaft either way. And sadly they probably will deserve it.
