DISGRACE: Award-Winning Texas Nurse FIRED After Vowing to Let Cops and Their Families “DIE” During Drunk Driving Arrest
An award-winning registered nurse in Texas was abruptly terminated on Monday after bodycam footage and audio leaked showing her vowing that she would “let cops and their families die” during a drunk driving arrest.
35-year-old nurse Crystal Tadlock was pulled over late Saturday night in Magnolia, Texas, for speeding and failing a field sobriety test.
“A traffic stop was conducted on 1488. After an intoxication investigation, the female driver was arrested for DWI,” Magnolia Police Department wrote on Facebook.
“The female, who is a nurse, stated that if any of us came to her hospital, that she would make sure we died. Unfortunately we couldn’t charge her with not being a very nice person…”
As she was being handcuffed and escorted to the patrol vehicle, she allegedly yelled to nearby officers, “I will let you die, and your families too,” and explicitly threatened to abandon her professional obligations (i.e. “break her oath to do no harm”).
ABC13 reported:
In newly released video, the 35-year-old can be heard telling officers she works at Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital while seated in the back of a patrol car.
“I’m a (expletive) nurse, and when you come through my hospital, don’t worry, I’ll let you die,” Tadlock tells the officers.
After a brief exchange with one officer, Tadlock adds, “All your family members,” before asking if she’s being recorded.
In their report, officers note that it took Tadlock 40 seconds to stop and that she ran a red light and hit a piece of concrete.
They also note she had “bloodshot, glassy eyes and slurred speech” and that she admitted to having two drinks at a concert.
