Assistant District Attorney who prosecutes DWI cases arrested on DWI charge

An assistant District Attorney who prosecutes DWI cases was arrested in Waco, Texas, early on Saturday morning on a charge of suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Kristen Parker, 27, was arrested by a Baylor University police officer before she was booked into the McLennan County Jail shortly before 4:45am.



Parker was released later the same day after posting a $1,000 surety bond. Parker joined the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office about a year ago.

She is typically responsible for prosecuting misdemeanor DWI cases. Parker is a 2010 Vanderbilt University graduate and got her law degree from Baylor Law School in 2014, according to her LinkedIn page.
