AUSTIN, Texas - Authorities say Democratic state. Rep. Naomi Gonzalez
has been arrested on charges of drunk driving.
Austin police spokesman Jermaine Kilgore said the El Paso lawmaker was
arrested Thursday after rear-ending another car around 2 a.m. near downtown. He
says the other car struck by Gonzalez's BMW was then pushed into a bicyclist.
Kilgore said both Gonzalez and the bicyclist were transported to a hospital with
non-life threatening injuries.
Records show Gonzalez remained in Travis County jail Thursday afternoon.
Aides at her Capitol office declined to immediately comment.
The 34-year-old Gonzalez was first elected in 2010 and serves on a House
ethics committee.
