Updated at 1:16 p.m.: Revised to reflect Leah Lucius' employment history.

A Dallas County assistant district attorney was accused of drunken driving after crashing into a tree and a fence less than a mile from her home early Saturday.

Leah Lucius, 49, has been suspended without pay from her job until an investigation into the incident is complete. Lucius was not booked in to the Dallas County jail but was instead taken to the hospital for evaluation after the crash.

Lucius has worked at the Dallas County District Attorney's Office twice. Her most recent stint started in July 2015.

Officers found Lucius' 2014 Cadillac — with its front tire ripped off and its windshield broken — about 12:30 a.m. Saturday in the 1600 block of Breezewood Lane near San Leandro Drive, southeast of White Rock Lake, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

When officers asked Lucius for her driver's license, she gave them her concealed handgun license. She declined to undergo field sobriety testing and asked one of the officers, "Give me a break. We are Facebook friends," the warrant says.

The officer told her their interaction was being recorded.

Lucius told officers she drank a couple of glasses of wine over a period of five hours. She said she was driving home when someone drove in front of her.

"I was coming this way, and some guy was coming into my lane, and I ran over the road," she told officers, according to the warrant.

A resident in the neighborhood called 911 after hearing a loud crash. He told officers he saw the Cadillac "flying through the air after hitting the tree," the warrant says.

After the Cadillac landed in the alley, Lucius was seen walking around the vehicle.

Lucius was taken to the hospital, and her blood was drawn to test her alcohol level.
