Fox News
The wife of Republican Texas gubernatorial candidate Allen West was released Saturday after being arrested on Friday night for driving while intoxicated (DWI) with her grandson in the car.
West's wife was stopped by a Dallas officer assigned with the DWI Squad for a traffic violation before 8:45 p.m. Friday night, which led to the officer to suspect West was intoxicated and performed a field sobriety test on her. After the field test, West was taken into custody and charged with "Driving While Intoxicated with a Child under 15 Years Old," the Dallas Police Department told Fox News. West's infant grandson, Jackson, was released to a family member after his grandmother's arrest. The arrest drew strong rebuke from West, the former chairman of the Texas Republican Party, who called the arrest "insidious" in a video he posted on Twitter Saturday morning.More Related News
