Former Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst arrested on domestic-violence charge in Dallas

Former Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Dallas on a domestic-violence charge.

Dallas police announced the arrest just before midnight Tuesday.

According to police, officers were called about 5:15 p.m. about a disturbance in the 3300 block of West Mockingbird Lane, near Dallas Love Field. They spoke to a woman who said she had been assaulted by a man she knew.

Police said they identified Dewhurst as a suspect, and he was taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge of family-violence assault and booked into the Dallas County jail.

Jail records showed that he had been booked into the facility about 12:15 a.m. Wednesday. His bail had not been set, and it was unclear whether he had an attorney.

Dewhurst was also involved in a domestic violence incident last year and the woman kicked his butt according to the article I linked to in the post below.

at Lew Sterrett Justice Center.

I wonder if he was vaccinated or if he in the style of defiant Texas Republicans refused to get the vaccine.

I also wonder if this is the same woman that he was involved in an incident last year? She was also involved with politics and worked with Senators Phil Gramm, John McCain, and John Cornyn. It is a May-December romance destined for trouble.
