An Indiana woman loudly yelled for her dog to "sic" police officers while she was being arrested for allegedly driving intoxicated, officials say.

Evansville resident Raven Luckett was found at a gas station in her car by police, who received reports of an intoxicated driver on the roads. Luckett, who had been drinking with her brother at his home, allegedly exhibited slurred speech, glossy eyes and went off on rambles about things law enforcement did not ask about, reported 44 News.

Two children were also found in 24-year-old Luckett's car: a 4 year old and a 14 year old. a large dog was also in the car. An open container of alcohol was found in the driver's door of the car.

Luckett reportedly demonstrated no concern for the two children, and was only concerned about the safety and well-being of her dog. She begged law enforcement to not take her dog away, stating that the animal was "vicious and would attack", making no plea on behalf of the two children in her care.

Luckett began repeatedly yelling for the dog, apparently named "Mya". When her brother arrived at the scene to allow law enforcement to remand the vehicle, children and dog into his care, Luckett refused to provide him with her keys. Instead, she began yelling at her dog to "sic" her arresting officers.

She was arrested and charged with neglect, intimidation and operating a vehicle while intoxicated. She was then booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail.
