HOUSTON -- An associate judge found herself on the other side of the law Wednesday night.

April Walker, who's already had a run-in with the sheriff's office, was arrested and charged with evading arrest.

Someone called Walker to tell her that deputies had arrested her sons for allegedly smoking pot at a neighbor's house. The deputies were responding to a burglary in progress call when they said they found several teens in a home smoking pot.

Walker's two sons and four other teens were arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession and trespassing.

Deputies said Walker drove up and opened the door of a patrol car in an apparent attempt to talk with her sons. Deputies ordered her to step away from the car and leave the scene until the investigation was complete. In a statement from the sheriff's office, the deputies said Walker returned to the scene at least four times.

The last time, Sgt. J. Cook approached her car. He said Walker put the car in reverse and took off at a high rate of speed. She was still in reverse when she ran a stop sign, acccording to the deputy.

Neighbor Mustafa Rahman backs up that version of the story.

Sgt. Cook gave chase and said Walker sped through the residential area at speeds of 50 to 60 miles an hour.

She was arrested when she stopped at her home in the 3500 block of High Falls Drive.

Walker claims the deputies slammed her against a squad car and called her the n-word.

Walker was later released on a $2,000 bond and is expected in court next week.

In May, Walker and 13 others filed a federal lawsuit against Sheriff Tommy Thomas and several others, accusing them of wrongful arrest.
