A Democratic elected official was arrested in Chicago after causing a three-car pileup and making inappropriate comments about the arresting officer's penis.
The incident was first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. According to the outlet, the elected official, Samantha Steele, 45, was arrested around 8:50 p.m. Sunday after crashing into another vehicle and causing a three-car pileup in North Chicago.
During the arrest, Steele repeatedly asked the arresting officer, “Is your penis that small?”
Steele serves as District 2 commissioner of the Cook County Board of Review, which oversees property tax assessments in and around Chicago.
Democrats are accused of “intentionally” undermining the will of voters through “eleventh-hour sabotage” of Trump's agenda.

Chicago police who arrived at the scene observed “extensive” damage to the vehicles involved and found Steele lying on the sidewalk, the Chicago Sun Times reported.
“I noticed her eyes were bloodshot and glassy” and “I also detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from her breath as she spoke,” an officer wrote in the report.
Officers immediately detected a strong odor of alcohol and noticed an open bottle of red wine on the passenger side floorboard of Steele's car, the police report said.
After officers asked Steele how much she should drink, she responded, “I want my lawyer, and I'm not going to talk to you.” She refused to take a field sobriety test and was arrested and handcuffed.

Instead of calling her attorney, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, Steele called Cook County Board of Commissioners member Scott Britton, who has since referred her to a criminal attorney.
Steele is charged with misdemeanor drunk driving. Her trial date is set for December 27.
Steele was elected as a commissioner of the Cook County Board of Review in 2022 and serves a four-year term until 2026.
Steele and the Cook County Board of Review did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
