The son of Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn was arrested Friday on charges of public intoxication and indecent exposure, jail records show.

Arlington police arrested Sergei Waybourn near AT&T Stadium, just a few days after the sheriff sparked controversy with comments he made at the White House about some of Tarrant County’s jailed unauthorized immigrants.

Bill Waybourn was at a Washington, D.C., event Thursday opposing a judge’s decision to end the use of unreliable databases when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement requests local law enforcement hold someone facing possible deportation.

The sheriff said the ruling would make it difficult to keep in jail unauthorized immigrants charged with DUIs. While noting that many are repeat offenders, he said, “These drunks will run over your children, and they will run over my children."

He faced immediate criticism from people who believed his comments were bigoted and an attack on immigrants as a whole — a sentiment the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department denied.

“He was speaking toward the charges of DWI and DWI repeat offenders in the context of illegal immigration,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement, clarifying that Waybourn wasn’t referring to all immigrants.

Sergei Waybourn has previous arrests for trespassing and theft in recent years. He was charged with assault in 2018.

Additional details on Friday’s arrest weren’t immediately available.
