Bad day.

An Alabama deputy off duty crashes her cruiser after apparently being under the influnce while operating a motor vehicle.

She worked for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Lanfair is formally charged with first-degree assault connected to driving under the influence of alcohol, causing serious physical injury. A criminal complaint was filed on Monday, Oct. 27.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said Lanfair was off-duty at the time of the crash. She was initially booked in the Jefferson County Jail Birmingham Division on two counts of first-degree assault on Oct. 24, where she later bonded out. That bond was set at $30,000.

This was some bad work.

ALEA said Lanfair was also injured when the department issued 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe patrol unit she was driving struck a sedan driven by a 22-year-old Birmingham woman.

The other vehicle driven by 22-year-old Kayla Williams and passenger 15-year-old brother Nicholas Williams were injured seriously.

After the initial impact, ALEA said the sedan then struck a second sedan driven by a 30-year-old Center Point woman.

Lanfair was taken to UAB St. Vincent's East Hospital for medical treatment.

Moving from Illinois to Alabama to start a life as law enforcement. All of it ruined because of mental health and alcohol abuse.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
