Maria Arias was indicted on four counts of child abandonment in April following the March incident in the family’s home in northern Smith County. State District Judge Louis Gohmert rec ognized a seven-year adjudicated probation agreement made by Smith County Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Earls and defense attorney Curt Ellis. The judge ordered a pre-sentence inves tigation into the defendant’s past before sen tencing. Arias, 37, could receive up to 20 years in prison on each charge. Earls explained that with charges of child abandonment, the state had an option of pursuing it as a state jail offense, which brings with it a jail term of up to two years in prison, or as a second-degree felony, which warrants up to 20 years.

The emergency call led to misdemeanor citations against Jenna and Barbara Bush, both 19, on accusations they violated toughened underage drinking laws signed in 1997 by their fa ther when he was governor. “Usually we wouldn’t have handled this in the way it was handled,” Mike Young, who owns the Mexican food restau rants with John Zapp, told the Austin American-Statesman in Tuesday’s online edition. “With that said, diese are very unusual circumstances,” Young said. “A packed restaurant with high-profile celebrities there il A packed restaurant with high-profile celebrities there puts a lot of pres sure on you man agement team.” — Mike Young Chuy's co-owner puts a lot of pressure on your management team.” Young said he understood why the incident happened the way it did. He said Mia Lawrence, the manager at the Chuy’s restau rant on Bartop Springs Road who called 911 to report the al leged alcohol violations on May 29, will stay with the company. Chuy’s employees and cus tomers, Young said, hope the at tention gained by the Bush inci dent will wane. “We want to get back to busi ness as usual,” he said. “Out of respect to the president’s family — I would like to see this go away just for that.” Young said the owners have received “tons” of calls and e- mails about the incident — with many supportive of how it was handled. “There’s always some com plaints — it doesn’t matter what you do,” said Young.
