Immigrant pleads guilty
to abandoning children
TYLER (AP) — A Mexican national
found hiding in East Texas earlier this year
pleaded guilty Monday to leaving her chil
dren alone for several days without sufficient
food or supplies.
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.
A supervisor with Child Protective Ser
vices, Debbie Amidon, said the agency
would not ask that Arias’ parental rights he
terminated but that the agency would at
tempt to make permanent placement el
where.
Arias was arrested in March after
discovered her four sons, ages 6,8,9 and
were left alone.
A relative who lived nearby told authi
ties he went to check on the family
found the boys sleeping on furniture wet ; ;
mildewed from recent rainstorms r
spoiled food scattered about.
Earls said it was confirmed that Arias •

Restaurant owner apologizes
for 911 call about Jenna Bush
AUSTIN (AP) — A Mexican
restaurant’s staffer who called 911
about President Bush’s twin
daughters mishandled the situa
tion that allegedly involved viola
tions of underage drinking laws,
the eatery chain’s owners say.
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

Chuy's co-owner

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.
