Harris County Treasurer Carla Wyatt told police she was ‘in heaven’ during DWI arrest, affidavit says‘I am innocent’: Lee Gilley asks for protection in Italy after fleeing U.S. before Harris County capital murder trial Read full article: ‘I am innocent’: Lee Gilley asks for protection in Italy after fleeing U.S. before Harris County capital murder trialLocal News Wyatt “appeared to be asleep with her car parked in the left lane of a highway, Texas City officers reproted– Harris County Treasurer Dr. Carla Wyatt told an officer with the Texas City Police Department she thought she was “in heaven” before she was arrested on a driving while intoxicated charge, according to a newly obtained probable cause affidavit.
The affidavit states a Texas City officer responded around 1:30 a.m. Saturday to Highway 3 for a report of a blue Toyota SUV parked in the left lane. According to the document, the officer found a black 2022 Toyota 4Runner with its hazard lights on, parked behind the vehicle. The officer wrote that Wyatt was in the driver’s seat, the ignition was on, and she appeared to be asleep.
When the officer opened the driver’s door and turned off the vehicle for safety, he wrote that he woke Wyatt up and asked where she was. According to the affidavit, Wyatt later said she was in Houston and on her way to Galveston for a conference at 11:30 a.m. the following morning. The officer wrote that Wyatt said she had dinner, drank wine at her home around 10 p.m., and initially said she had one glass of wine.
The affidavit states she later told the officer she had two glasses. The officer wrote that he smelled alcohol coming from Wyatt, noticed she was swaying while standing near the vehicle, and saw clues of intoxication during a horizontal gaze nystagmus test. According to the affidavit, Wyatt told the officer she did not feel comfortable doing other field sobriety tests because of a prior left foot injury. Wyatt was previously arrested for DWI in Houston in 2023.
That case was later dismissed after she completed a pretrial diversion program. KPRC 2 obtained the Houston Police Department report from that prior case through a public records request. In that report, officers said Wyatt’s breathalyzer results were between .365 and .367 — more than four times the legal limit of .08. Wyatt was also arrested in Harris County last December and charged with burglary of a motor vehicle outside a business on Washington Avenue.
That case was no-billed by a grand jury last month. KPRC 2 went to Wyatt’s home seeking comment on Sunday, but no one answered the door. We have also requested body camera footage from the latest arrest in Texas City.
