The Montgomery County Juvenile Division Attorney is arrested for alleged DUI and resisting officers.

Last night at around 10:30pm, Montgomery County Deputies were dispatched to Highway 160 and 75 west of Independence for a report of a vehicle in the ditch. Dispatch received reports of a female stumbling out of the vehicle. Upon arrival, deputies identified the driver as 65-year-old Daylene Walls, attorney for the county, and her friend 75-year-old Steven Simmons.

According to deputies, Walls appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. Walls would not comply with deputies, refused to place her hands behind her back, slapped a deputy and repeatedly told them she was not going to jail. Simmons argued with deputies and tried to prevent them from taking Walls into custody. Simmons was booked for interference with a law enforcement officer. A search warrant was obtained for Walls's blood and she was booked for driving under the influence, battery on a law enforcement officer and interference with a law enforcement officer.
