Woman Allegedly Destroys $300,000 Of Artwork At Pro-Trump Attorney's Home
Dallas woman Lindy Lou Layman, 29, allegedly caused more than $300,000 in damages and is facing felony charges for destroying artwork belonging to attorney Anthony Buzbee.
Buzbee, who has represented former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and hosted a fundraiser for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, had a less welcome guest in his home on Saturday. Layman, who is listed online as a freelance court reporter, is accused in court documents of pouring liquid onto and throwing sculptures “across the room with her hands.” The incident occurred in the ritzy River Oaks neighborhood of Houston, where Buzbee has been no stranger to headlines.
Just a few months ago, Buzbee was in hot water with neighbors for purchasing a World War II tank and displaying it in his front yard -- something that is still visible on Google's street-view image of his home. According to the Dallas News, Buzbee donated $250,000 to Trump's campaign, but later disavowed him upon the release of the vulgar Hollywood Access tape in which Trump could be heard saying "grab her by the p***y."
Layman was booked into Harris County jail Saturday and was released after posting $30,000 bond, Fox News reported. She is set to appear in court Thursday for allegedly destroying three original paintings and two abstract sculptures during the court of the Saturday incident.
The Houston Chronicle reports that Buzbee successfully defended U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry during a 2014 abuse-of-power trial in Austin when he was Texas’ governor.
