Girlfriend accused of injuring ex-Texas lieutenant governor
HOUSTON (AP) — Prosecutors in Houston said Wednesday that the girlfriend of former Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst was arrested on charges of injuring the longtime Republican officeholder in an alleged attack that broke two of his ribs.
Dewhurst, 74, called police Tuesday when X-rays confirmed his injuries, said Mary McFaden, the division chief of family criminal law at the Harris County District Attorney's Office. Leslie Ann Caron, 40, was charged with injury to an elderly person, a third-degree felony in Texas.
Caron was booked on $10,000 bond. It was not immediately clear whether she had an attorney. Attempts to reach Dewhurst or his representatives were not immediately successful.
Approached by Houston television station KTRK on Wednesday, Dewhurst said he was doing OK but declined further comment.
