Shocking new footage has surfaced showing the former Baywatch actress failing a series of sobriety tests a month before she became famous by attacking an 80-year-old man during an air fight over masks.
Patricia Cornwall, 51, was filmed scolding cops, failing basic sobriety tests and asking if cops searched her for lice during an alleged arrest for drunk driving in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, in November after her gray Nissan crashed into a tree.
A few weeks after the incident, she gained worldwide notoriety after footage surfaced of her assaulting an 80-year-old man on a Delta flight during an argument over masks. As a result, Cornwall was named “Delta Karen” and charged by the FBI.
When asked to initially keep her head still during her November arrest for drunk driving, seen in police body camera footage, she tells a police officer that he shines a flashlight in her face “on purpose.”
Cornwall was then ordered to take nine heel-toe steps along the line of the road, also known as the “walk-turn” test. She tells the acting officer to “state the facts” after he tells her to do so while standing in front of him.
She also sarcastically asked the officer, “What the hell are you talking about,” when he told her that she should take small steps back after completing the ninth heel-toe step.
Patricia Cornwall is caught on video failing a field sobriety test in November 2021 after failing to put one foot in front of the other and walk on straight road markings.
Walton was also seen with her legs spread after being asked to balance on one limb, a request that prompted a foul language directed at one of the police officers.
Walton was arrested as a result of her antics, but not before asking the cops if they were looking for her for lice.
Finally, right before his arrest, Cornwall was ordered to do a one-leg stand. She was told to keep her right leg straight after she said she had a stroke in her left leg, and to count aloud from “thousand and one” until ordered to stop.
When told she had to do this for 30 seconds, Cornwall told a police officer, “30 seconds?! Is that almost impossible even for a damn iron man? I tell you to do it and I bet you can’t.
She failed the test on one leg, which led to her arrest shortly after she argued with an officer and asked if they were looking for lice during her search.
Cornwall was later arrested on charges of drunk driving and reckless driving. She appeared in court on January 10.
Investigators say that Cornwall initially refused to get out of the car when the police arrived at the scene and that she smelled of alcohol.

The officers were called to the scene by a tow truck employee who had been called to dispatch the Cornish vehicle. The tower said he found Cornwall in the driver’s seat of her car, trying to reverse out of the car.
“Going up to the defendant for help, he found the smell of alcohol emanating from the defendant. [sic] breathing,” the FHP report says.
A tow truck worker finally contacted law enforcement after she kept trying to flip the car, police said, adding that Cornwall had “slurred speech” and her face looked “flushed” when they first saw her.

A male flight crew member also demands that Cornwall put on her mask as she keeps asking them to ask him to put on theirs.
