Harris County Treasurer Dr. Carla Wyatt was arrested on Saturday after being accused of breaking into a vehicle. Wyatt has been charged with burglary of a motor vehicle, a misdemeanor. Wyatt is set to make her first court appearance on Friday.
Wyatt, a Democrat, has been arrested before. Court records indicate she was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated back in 2023. Prosecutors stated her blood alcohol concentration level was at least .15.
Court documents reveal she violated her bond conditions twice in that case.
Wyatt talked to our TV partner Channel 2 shortly after getting elected as treasurer.
“My view of success in this particular role is to be a role model for those people who are coming behind me,” Wyatt said at the time.
