The Chicago Sun Times reported that Chicago police arriving at the scene he observed “extensive” damage to the vehicles involved and found Steele lying on the pavement.

An officer wrote in the report, “I noticed her eyes were bloodshot and glassy,” and “I also detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath as she spoke.”

The police report said officers immediately detected a strong odor of alcohol and noticed an open bottle of red wine on the passenger side floor of Steele’s car.

After the officers asked Steele how much she had to drink, she replied, “I want my lawyer and I’m not talking to you.” She refused to perform a field sobriety test and was arrested and handcuffed.
