A high-profile Texas attorney's first date on Saturday
Lindy Lou Layman, 29, of Dallas is accused of damaging at least $300,000 worth of art in 49-year-old attorney Anthony Buzbee’s Houston home.
The damaged artwork included two original Andy Warhol paintings.
Prosecutors say Layman was intoxicated, so Buzbee called her an Uber. "She at some point appeared too intoxicated and she was asked to leave. She wouldn’t and got angry because she didn’t want to leave,” Buzbee told the Texas Lawyer magazine.“I collect art. I don’t want it damaged,” “She also pulled a Renoir and a Monet off the wall. Luckily those weren’t damaged.”—Woman Accused of Destroying $300K Worth of Art at Tony Buzbee's House
Police say Layman refused to leave the attorney’s $14 million Houston mansion and hid inside the house, "It’s not the first time I’ve had guests at a party of mine over imbibe. Most leave when you ask them. She didn’t," Buzbee said.
That's when pandemonium broke out.
Layman yelled obscenities and tore three original works of art from the wall when Buzbee ordered her a second Uber, according to Harris County court documents obtained by KHOU. Two of those were Andy Warhol paintings valued at $500,000 each.
