That’s what you get for dating a freelance court reporter !
10TV reports this wonderfully delicious story.
A Texas woman was arrested late Saturday after allegedly causing damage to several pricey works of art at a Houston attorney’s home, reports CBS affiliate KHOU. Lindy Lou Layman, 29, is accused of damaging three paintings and two sculptures at the home of Anthony Buzbee, a lawyer who is well known in the Houston area.
Layman is accused of pouring liquid onto paintings, tearing paintings off the wall and throwing sculptures across a room, according to Harris County court documents. The resulting damage cost at least $300,000.
The damaged artworks reportedly included two original Andy Warhol paintings valued at $500,000 each.
In court, prosecutors said Layman was on a first date with Buzbee, according to KHOU. A LinkedIn page for Layman identifies her as a freelance court reporter.
Layman, who is from Dallas, was arrested on a charge of criminal mischief. She was released from Harris County Jail Monday after posting $30,000 bail.
Buzbee is a well-known figure in the community. The Dallas Morning News reports that in 2016, Buzbee hosted a fundraiser for Donald Trump at the mansion where Saturday’s incident occurred and donated $250,000 to Trump’s presidential campaign.
The newspaper reports Buzbee later disavowed the then-candidate after the behind-the-scenes Access Hollywood tape surfaced in which Trump could be heard talking about kissing and groping women.
Buzbee also made headlines last year for parking a tank outside of his home, causing a brief fight with his homeowner’s association.
