Chicago Official Arrested for DUI After Making Inappropriate Remarks to Officer

Samantha Steele, a Cook County Board Commissioner, faces DUI charges following a three-car crash and alleged comments about an officer's manhood.

Samantha Steele, a Democratic official from Chicago, was arrested for driving under the influence after causing a three-car collision.
Police reports indicate Steele repeatedly made inappropriate comments about the arresting officer's manhood during the incident.
An open bottle of red wine was found in Steele's vehicle, and she refused to take field sobriety tests, requesting a lawyer instead.
Steele was taken to a hospital for head injuries and attempted to enlist a fellow commissioner, Scott Britton, as her lawyer, who then referred her to a criminal attorney.
Her court date is scheduled for December 27, and she has not publicly commented on the arrest or the allegations.
