ALLEGED drunk driver Jessica Beauvais shared a live stream of herself bashing police while drinking hours before reportedly killing an NYPD officer during a hit-and-run.
Beauvais, 32, posted a nearly two-hour video on her Facebook page in which she spoke about the trial of ex-cop Derek Chauvin – who was convicted for killing George Floyd.
She filmed herself hours before cops say she fatally hit NYPD highway officer Anastasios Tsakos, 43, and fled the scene.
In the video was streamed on Facebook on Monday as part of her Face The Reality radio show.
Beauvais filmed herself saying “F**k the police” to the camera while drinking shots and vaping – later reportedly admitting to cops she was boozing on vodka.
Beauvais, who was accused of fatally running over Tsakos just hours later, gave a tearful apology on Tuesday as she was led away by cops in handcuffs.
She was filmed sobbing as she walked out from the 107th Precinct in Queens for her arraignment.
“I’m sorry,” a tearful Beauvais cried to a crowd of reporters as she was escorted into the back of a patrol vehicle in handcuffs.
“I’m sorry that I hit him and now he’s dead,” she is heard saying in footage of the exchange.
