Felony false alarm or report under Texas Penal Code § 32.06 for saying she had heard reports of hospitalizations from drinking the water, but the police had not heard any such reports. She's now suing the city, the police chief, and one specific city council member. The mayor talked openly with the news about the water issues, but declined to make any comment on the arrest.
Follow up video: The DA did actually file charges, but a grand jury refused to indict, so the case is over. Another guy from out of town got arrested (on live stream) for holding a sign in front of the police station protesting the arrest. He was charged with a misdemeanor, but the judge dismissed it immediately.
police=hospital staff now?
If the police didn't hear about it, how can anyone be sure it really happened? Seriously though, it sounds like there was more to it than just that, since she said her lawsuit will include a specific (but unnamed in the video) city council member.
