Victoria Neave (Dallas County Jail)

Updated at 2:01 p.m. with a statement from the representative.

A Dallas police officer who stopped state Rep. Victoria Neave on suspicion of drunken driving late Tuesday said she was "uncooperative" but had nothing but praise for his profession.

"I love you and I will fight for you," she said, according to her arrest warrant affidavit, "and I'm invoking my 5th amendment rights."

Neave, a Democrat who represents District 107, crashed her BMW into a tree at Abrams Road and La Vista Drive near Lakewood about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

She issued a video and written statement Wednesday afternoon saying she was disappointed in her behavior.

"Last night, I disappointed my family, my constituents and my supporters," Neave said. "I disappointed myself. I am so grateful that no one was hurt. I am deeply sorry, and will accept the consequences of my actions, and will work to make this right."

An officer wrote that the 36-year-old had "bloodshot eyes," was "staggering" and refused to complete a field sobriety test or give a blood sample. She was ultimately forced to provide blood under a court order.

"I love you and I will fight for you," Neave told the arresting officer repeatedly, slurring her words, according to the warrant. She also invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination "over and over," the officer wrote.

Neave was booked into the Dallas County Jail just after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. She faces a charge of driving while intoxicated. She posted a $500 bond about 10 a.m, Dallas County sheriff's spokeswoman Melinda Urbina said.

Neave does not appear to have any prior arrests in Dallas County, records show.

Several outlets report that she was allowed to leave through a different exit than most people use.

Neave was scheduled to speak Thursday about her work for immigrants at the Mexican Consulate in Dallas, but the event was canceled after news of her arrest surfaced.

The Pleasant Grove native, whose district includes parts of Dallas, Mesquite and Garland, founded a law firm that represents people involved in criminal and civil cases and claims to advocate aggressively for its clients. The firm counts DWI cases among its areas of expertise.

"There are certain ways to fight DWI charges, even if you took the Standardized Field Sobriety tests, breathed into the breathalyzer machine, and even if your blood specimen was taken," the firm's website says.

Neave's bio describes her beginnings as "humble."

"After becoming involved in civil rights advocacy groups at a young age, Attorney Victoria Neave decided to attend law school so she could fight for justice in our courts," the bio states.

Neave, who was recently named "Freshman of the Year" by the Texas House Democratic Caucus, had another encounter with Dallas police Tuesday when she spoke at a panel about Senate Bill 4 with Assistant Police Chief Gary Tittle, according to her Twitter account. Tittle is the Dallas Police Department's legislative coordinator.

Neave is a supporter of the texting and driving ban that Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law this week. "No text is worth a life," Neave tweeted over the weekend.

She was also a supporter of the bill, signed last week, to keep the troubled Dallas Police and Fire Pension System from insolvency.

"Firefighters and paramedics risk their lives every single day to keep our community safe," she tweeted after attending the Dallas Fire-Rescue's awards banquet last month.

She's been a vocal opponent of the so-called sanctuary cities law, which bans cities, counties and universities from keeping local law enforcement officers from asking about immigration status and enforcing immigration law.

Last month, Abbott signed the bill, one of his major goals of the legislative session.
