Montgomery County’s former assistant prosecutor was formally charged late last week with 3 misdemeanors. According to the Montgomery County Chronicle, David Yoder of Hutchinson, a special prosecuting attorney, charged Daylene B. Walls with driving under the influence of alcohol, battery on a law enforcement officer, and interference with a LEO. This was a result of a traffic incident on June 13th.
Walls, according to the sheriff’s department, slapped an officer and became combative when she was approached after her vehicle went off the roadway near the intersection of us 150 and 75 east of Independence. She was taken into custody and booked in the county jail.
Steven Simmons was following Walls that night, and he, according to the Sheriff's department tried to interfere with Wall’s arrest. He was also charged with misdemeanor interference with a LEO Tuesday and is waiting for his first formal appearance hearing.
Separately, the Office of Disciplinary Administrator is investigating in the case and sanctions could be applied against Walls’ law license.
