Before hit-and-run suspect Jessica Beauvais was ordered held without bail Tuesday, prosecutors told a judge that body camera footage revealed she swore at law enforcement taking her into custody a few blocks away from the fatal crash that killed NYPD Highway Patrol Officer Anastasios Tsakos, lamenting as she was placed in the back of a patrol car, “Why did my first accident have to be a cop?”
Hours before allegedly striking the officer in Queens, Beauvais appeared on a podcast posted to Facebook in which she hurled expletives about police and spoke about the recent conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the murder and manslaughter of George Floyd. According to prosecutors, Beauvais told officers later questioning her at the precinct stationhouse that she smoked weed, drank four glasses of wine, and took two shots of tequila at the podcast studio before leaving to go pick up her 13-year-old son in Hempstead.More Related News
