Police: Ex-Texas lieutenant governor pushed woman into bench

DALLAS (AP) — Former Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst pushed his girlfriend into a concrete bench as they struggled over a laptop, Dallas police said in an affidavit for his arrest.

Dewhurst 75, was booked into the Dallas County jail on a misdemeanor family violence charge Tuesday evening and released early Wednesday on a $1,000 bond, according to jail records.

The charge stems from a struggle at a bus terminal Tuesday between Dewhurst and Leslie Caron, who has been in a relationship with the former politician for more than two years, according to the affidavit. It's the latest allegation of violence between them leading to criminal charges.

The affidavit says Dewhurst was boarding a bus when Caron remembered she had a laptop they shared and said so. Dewhurst began to chase her, trying to get the computer, and pushed Caron causing her to hit her head on a concrete bench, the document states. She then got back up and they allegedly continued to struggle.

Police said the altercation was captured on video and described Caron's injuries as "pain sustained' from hitting her head. After the officers arrived, she was taken to police headquarters for an interview, according to the affidavit.

1. Wonder what's on that laptop?

And, of course, why he cannot behave in a civil manner!

2. Considering that this is the third incident that has occurred between this pair

within the past two years, it seems like this relationship needs to end and that any devices that are used to communicate with each other are also destroyed. I shudder to think what might be on that laptop, especially when it involves a 75 year-old man. Dewhurst must have access to a warehouse of Viagra.

3. Incredible, isn't it? 🤯

Being that he is a qpuke, my 1st thought is child porn.

I don't know anything about either of these folks, but just guessing...

5. "Dewhurst was boarding a bus"?

What's the story there? My first thought was something like the upscale bus line Vonlane, which I would love to try, but last I checked they depart from a hotel parking lot, not a 'terminal' as referred to in the article. Has Dewhurst fallen on hard times financially?
