A nurse arrested for driving under the influence has been dismissed from her job after a video of her being taken into custody confirmed she promised the officers she would let them “die.”
“I’m a f—— nurse. When you come through my hospital, don’t worry, I’ll let you die. All your family members, and this is all on recording,” the video reveals her to be saying.
According to a report at Law & Crime, the nurse was identified as Crystal Tadlock, who used to work at Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital in Houston.
She was stopped and arrested by police from the Magnolia, Texas, department.
Tadlock allegedly added, “Greater Heights, b—. Don’t go there.”
The arrest documentation, Law & Crime said, charged that she was pulled over for speeding.
“[Tadlock] stated she was unaware she was traveling 66 mph and mentioned she was returning home from a concert at the Cynthia Woods Pavilion,” the report alleges. “She indicated she had dropped off friends who had been drinking and was on her way home.”

The officer reported a smell of alcohol coming from the vehicle when he pulled her over, and she allegedly failed field sobriety tests.
“During transport, Crystal became increasingly belligerent, making derogatory remarks and threats. She initially stated that the reason I was doing this was because ICE had not picked me up yet. Crystal also made racist comments about my ethnicity and stated that she is going to be getting out of this because she is white. She also stated that she had an issue with me because I was not white,” the arresting officer reported.
The hospital, when officials were given details, released a statement that the employee was suspended pending investigation, and subsequently terminated.
“Once she arrived at jail, staff stated that she had also made the same comment to them that she uttered earlier, saying ‘that if any of them went to the hospital where she works, she would ensure they die as well,’ according to the arrest report,” Law & Order said.
Police officials claimed there is “no excuse” for such actions.
