CBS News Texas has learned the Dallas Police Department’s chief public information officer Allison Hudson is facing a criminal investigation by the department’s public integrity unit. \u00a0<\/p>\n

According to sources, Hudson was driving an unmarked department-issued vehicle when she was involved in a confrontation with another driver back in August. She’s accused of turning the emergency police lights on, despite Hudson being a civilian.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources tell us the driver filed a complaint that she was impersonating a police officer. Sources also tell us Hudson claims the vehicle malfunctioned and she did not intentionally turn on the lights; she is also said to have complained about the vehicle for weeks.<\/p>\n

Asked about the investigation at a press conference for an unrelated case today, Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux confirmed the department is looking into the situation.<\/p>\n

“There’s a current investigation that’s being investigated right now,” Comeaux said. “As soon as we are complete with that investigation, we’ll give everyone that information.” \u00a0<\/p>\n

“Once we can speak about it, we will,” he added.<\/p>\n

DPD’s senior public information officer confirmed in an email “there is an open investigation, there is no other information available at this time.”<\/p>\n

CBS News Texas reached out to Hudson, but she is not commenting because of the open investigation. She has not been charged with a crime and is not on administrative leave, sources said.<\/p>\n
