Aaron Judge’s girlfriend is in hot water after an Extreme DUI, and the footage has now leaked.
Yankees star Aaron Judge is going to be hearing about this offseason tale for a while, unfortunately.
Days after the news broke that his girlfriend, Samantha Bracksieck, had been arrested for a so-called “Extreme DUI” (BAC of .15 or higher) in Arizona, we now have footage that depicts her behavior in the wake of the arrest.
Bracksieck is seen in the newly-released TMZ footage attempting to inform the officers who her boyfriend is, telling them that the way they’re treating her is not going to go over well in New York with the media.
“My boyfriend is not in a spot where I should be, like, having this happen,” Bracksieck is seen telling the police. “He’s like a public figure. So, like, me being arrested for, like, having two glasses of wine is not OK.”
After Bracksieck failed an initial breathalyzer, she went directly into damage control mode, attempting to coerce the officers into going easy on her by trying to leverage her social status.
“Do you understand what you’re doing right now? I just need to get home,” Bracksieck added. “Do you know who my boyfriend is?!”
These protests did not dissuade the Arizona police from cuffing Bracksieck and bringing her back to the station, however. The ensuing police report claims her breath was tested twice more once the party arrived there, and her marks of .169 and .181 did not absolve her.
Aaron Judge’s girlfriend invoked his name repeatedly during the aftermath of her Extreme DUI arrest.
Judge’s companion was eventually hit with five separate charges over the incident (including the Extreme DUI pockmark), and she’s due in court in June.
This is the latest in a tumultuous offseason for Judge, who unfortunately had to hear his name invoked during a traffic stop which he was not present for. The Yankees star’s mysterious injury rehab remains ongoing, and he now has this unrelated battle to fight as well.
