Local reports describe disputed circumstances captured on video outside a Houston bar.

Overview

  • Wyatt was arrested Saturday and booked into the Harris County Jail on a charge of burglary of a vehicle, according to court records.
  • She was released on bond Sunday and is scheduled to appear before a judge on Friday.
  • The district attorney’s office acknowledged the arrest and said it will not comment further while the case is pending.
  • Local outlets report video showing Wyatt opening and entering an unlocked minivan, with Wyatt asserting she had permission and the vehicle’s owners telling police she did not.
