Lindy Lou Layman was accused of causing $300k in damages to artwork on a boozy first date at a Houston attorney's home during which she allegedly flung sculptures across the room and tore pricey paintings off the wall, the Dallas Morning News reported.
The 29-year-old woman was visiting Anthony Buzbee, a high-profile attorney who has worked on several prominent trials, according to KHOU, when the Saturday incident reportedly occurred.
The Morning News reported that Layman was intoxicated and, when Buzbee called an Uber for her, she allegedly hid in his home and refused to leave, then attacked the artwork, which included two original Andy Warhol paintings valued at $500,000 each.
KPRC reported that, during a probable cause hearing, a judge said Buzbee thought Layman was “too intoxicated” and decided he wanted her to leave.
According to court officials, “she refused to leave the location, hid somewhere in his home. He states when he found her, he told her he would call a second Uber driver which he did."
Layman, who was identified as a freelance court reporter, was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and was released from Harris County Jail after posting $30,000 bail on Monday, CBS News reported.
The Morning News noted Buzbee’s connection to President Donald Trump, saying that in 2016 the lawyer had hosted the eventual president at his mansion and also donated $250,000 to Trump's campaign.
