Washington state Democrat Krista Perez, who is running for a state House seat, was seen on police video admitting to drinking wine, declining field sobriety tests and begging to go home before praying and crying in the back of a patrol car after her DUI arrest.
Perez finished first in last month's primary in the 29th Legislative District, Position 1, and will face incumbent state Rep. Melanie Morgan, also a Democrat, in November, as the top two candidates advance to the general election.
Tacoma Police said Perez's 2019 Chevrolet Silverado allegedly struck a parked car on South G Street shortly after midnight on August 11, setting off a chain reaction that damaged five vehicles, according to The Jason Rantz Show on Seattle Red.
Prosecutors charged her with DUI, with a refusal enhancement in connection with the collision and a later encounter with police.
Body camera footage shows police questioning Perez after the crash and her subsequent arrest, while footage from the backseat of the patrol car shows her praying and sobbing, according to video obtained by The Jason Rantz Show on Seattle Red.
After police arrived at the scene, Perez told an officer she did not understand what was going on and claimed she was not involved in an accident, the footage shows.
"Did you get into an accident here?" the officer asks.
"I did not," Perez responded.
The officer then asked what happened.

Lock her up! Six months in the slammer.
FReeper Lazmataz might be confused on his guilty/not guilty judgement.
Rush used to call things like this ‘resume enhancements’. When a Dem does something that would cause trouble for you and me, they usually wind up benefitting from it.
“Did you get into an accident here?” the officer asks.
“I did not,” Perez responded.
The officer then asked what happened.
“I don’t know. I’ve never been in an accident before,” she replied.
It is something you should have thought about and understand.
“Tommy, did you break that lamp?”

People lie for two fundamental reasons: to protect themselves from something bad or to gain something good..................
I’d forgive her and cup her breasts ( if she volunteered). But she cannot be elected. Nor permitted to vote.
This will increase her poll numbers.
Inside the patrol car, she can be seen in the footage sobbing, praying and asking God to help her, with her crying lasting several minutes.
“Help me, God. Help me. Help me. Holy Spirit, help me, God,” she said.
“I made a poor choice last night by drinking alcohol before we had finished our work for the day. I am disappointed in myself and take responsibility for that poor choice. It won’t happen again, and I’m committed to completing my work this session without alcohol,” Fitzgibbon said in a statement at the time to The Jason Rantz Show on Seattle Red.
Confession is a start, next is repentance and consequences.
Sorry - what? What do you mean she can’t be elected? What do you mean she can’t vote. Anything else you want to make up?
Nope.
I’d give her a year.
Don’t you know who I am?
She led much legislation that gave more and more rights to criminals and less and less authorities for law enforcement.
It does my heart good to see her feel the effect of laws she tries to gut.
And it’s only a matter of days until some one or some ones start crying “racism” because the cops singled out the momma-cita.
I can forgive people who unconditionally confess their guilt, accept the consequences, and try to move on and do better. I am willing to give people second chances.
As you said, it isn’t just saying “I did a bad thing”. Lots of wrongdoers will even say that, sometimes with a smile.
It is unconditionally accepting and admitting you did a bad thing.
Repenting of what you did, and pledging to do better.
Accepting the consequences of what you did.
Perfect.
A democrat was praying to God?
And it’s on video?
