Michigan Representative Rebekah Warren, 48, was arrested for drunk driving December 26, 2019

A Michigan lawmaker has been caught on dashcam begging police officers not to take her in for DUI because the move would end her career and go down in history as their most famous arrest.

Representative Rebekah Warren, 48, is seen failing her field sobriety test as she stumbles when attempting to walk in a straight line in socks, count and recite the alphabet.

Warren also fails to precisely follow the movements of the cop's finger with her eyes while keeping her head still.

State Police said she was nearly three times the legal limit of .08 after she was pulled over 11.18pm on December 26, 2019 after an event at the Renaissance Center in Detroit.

Warren refused to take part in a breathalyzer test at the scene and after two vials of blood were withdrawn at a nearby hospital on a search warrant, authorities learned her blood alcohol was .212.

Throughout the encounter, Warren is heard bragging about her status in the community.

She says to a cop: 'You don't understand, I'm elected. I'm a senator. People will be, like, 'The senator got arrested''. Warren also says: 'Do you understand, there's going to be a moment that we're both going to be on TV. It's going to be, like, the senator from Ann Arbor's career is over. This is like career-ending for me.'

At one point she appears to express shock at the officer's refusal to let her off: 'My whole life has been an official. I'm a minister's daughter and an elected official. Like, everything in my life has been an official, but OK.'

'You don't understand, I'm elected. I'm a senator. People will be, like, 'The senator got arrested',' Warren is heard telling the officers while sitting handcuffed in the back of the police car. 'That'll be, like, [expletive bleeped]. This is going to be the most famous arrest you've ever made.

Warren – who took office last January - was pulled over in her black Jeep Cherokee the day after Christmas following several reports of a vehicle swerving on the Interstate 75.

An officer said he saw her vehicle swerve onto the hard shoulder and hit a guardrail.

Warren complains during the encounter: 'You have a lot of friends with you. I am the only lady here. I am the only lady. There are a bunch of guys and I'm all alone'

She told cops she'd had 'two or three glasses' of red wine, and was on her way to Ann Arbor – a 40-minute journey from Detroit - before she was pulled over in northern Oakland County.

Asked how drunk she felt she was on a scale of one to 10, Warren replied: 'I think three.'

Warren claimed she'd had her last drink 'a minute ago' but claimed she had no alcohol in vehicle and had not been drinking in it before she was pulled over near Joslyn Road.

When the officer asked if she knew where she was, she replied: 'I feel like I'm in -- I feel like you're going to tell me I'm at Josyln Road.'

The politician also seemed to have an impaired memory and the cop was shocked she did not remember veering into a guardrail.

'I witnessed you hit the wall,' the cop says in the clip. 'You were in the middle lane, then you went to the right lane, then you hit the wall. You don't remember that? OK.'

During the newly-released video, Warren finds issue with the number of officers at the scene.

'Who are all these people?' she begins before the cop explains they're fellow officers making sure they're both safe.

'But who's taking videos of this? Because at some point, everyone wants to take videos of this, but, like, one, two, three, four. You have four friends. I'm all alone,' Warren goes on. 'All of a sudden, you have five friends and I'm all alone. I kind of want to call some of my friends.'

She later adds: 'You have a lot of friends with you. I am the only lady here. I am the only lady. There are a bunch of guys and I'm all alone.'

Warren is heard complaining about her treatment as she sits handcuffed in the back of the Auburn Hills cop car.

Warren is irritable as she tells the officer she should not have to have her hands restrained because she was not behaving aggressively.

She comments: 'I'm gonna put that on my list of things I should work on if I ever get the chance to actually fix my career. I'm not going to get the chance but that's okay.'

Warren also tries to get out of cuffs as she complains that her skirt has shifted out of place.

At one point she tries to get the officer to pull the item of clothing down for her.

The cops responds by opening the rear door and offering to unbuckle her so she get out of the vehicle and adjust her clothing herself.

But Warren gives up after asking the law enforcement officer to release one hand from the cuffs and being refused.

'That's fine. forget it,' Warren says as she resigns the idea.

Lab tests released on January 6 showed Warren's BAC and she was charged under Michigan's 'Super Drunk' law.

January 6 lab test results showed Warren's BAC was .212 and the report was reviewed by the Auburn Hills City Attorney's office on January 23. Warren (right) was arraigned Thursday and issued a personal cash bond of $500

Auburn Hills City Attorney's office reviewed the report January 23 and she has been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated – enhanced unlawful bodily alcohol content.

The law introduced in 2010 states that if the driver's BAC is higher than 0.17 and it's their first offense, they face up to 180 days in jail, 360 hours of community service and six points on their licence.

If convicted they have to undergo an alcohol treatment program and pay a fine of up to $700.

The impaired driving law states: 'Anyone who refuses a breath test the first time is given an automatic one-year driver's license suspension. For a second refusal within seven years, the suspension is two years.'

Those convicted are required to have ignition interlock device installed in their vehicle in order to receive a restricted licence after theirs have been suspended 45 days.

Warren was arraigned Thursday and issued a personal cash bond of $500.

Rep. Warren did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
