Overview
- Wyatt, found in the left lane of Texas 3 with her SUV’s ignition on early Saturday, told the officer she was “in heaven” before saying she was heading to a Galveston conference.
- The officer reported smelling alcohol, noted she swayed and struggled to stand, recorded her admission to two glasses of wine, and said she declined to complete field sobriety testing.
- She is charged with a class B misdemeanor DWI in Galveston County, a magistrate set her bond at $3,000 cash or surety, and court records list a June 26 setting.
- Her attorney, Christopher Downey, says she denies committing any offense and will seek the offense report, forensic testing, and body- and dash-camera video.
- The case follows a 2023 DWI that was dismissed after diversion, two 2024 bond violations recorded in that case, and a December arrest that a Harris County grand jury declined to indict in April, as commissioners in February stripped duties from the treasurer’s office and voted to pursue abolishing it, which would require voter approval.
