The wife of Texas gubernatorial candidate Allen West was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in northwest Dallas Friday night, but West denied that his wife had been drinking.
Angela West, 61, was arraigned in Dallas County on Saturday morning and faces a charge of driving while intoxicated with a child under 15.
West said, in an Instagram video posted Saturday morning, that he was, "highly pissed off" and "livid" that police left his grandson alone with police on the side of the road. Police managed to contact one of his daughters, who picked up the child later.
On Saturday afternoon, West reported on his Facebook page that his wife had been released from jail.
West said witnesses at the P.F. Chang's in Dallas where his wife had been dining earlier in the evening saw her only drinking lemonade and water. He said she later passed a sobriety test, but police have not yet confirmed that.
