Alice Walton asks to expunge Texas DWI arrest
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Wal-Mart heiress Alice Walton is asking that her 2011 arrest in Texas for driving while intoxicated be expunged from the records, and prosecutors say her request will likely be granted.
Charges in the case were dropped when the two-year statute of limitations ran out Oct. 7.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported (http://bit.ly/HpmGUQ ) Sunday that Parker County, Texas, prosecutor John Forrest said he didn't pursue the charge because the state trooper who arrested Walton wasn't available to testify.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said the trooper is suspended pending an internal investigation into allegations of misconduct.
