Harris County Treasurer Arrested, Accused of Breaking Into Car

Carla Wyatt, Harris County Treasurer since 2022, faces burglary charges after allegedly entering a vehicle without owner permission, police said.

  • On Wednesday, Harris County Treasurer Dr. Carla Wyatt was arrested along Washington Avenue and is out on bond after being charged with burglary of a motor vehicle.
  • As Harris County's treasurer, Dr. Carla Wyatt has worked for Harris County about 20 years and was elected treasurer in 2022, overseeing county funds.
  • Officers reported seeing Wyatt taking items from a vehicle while witnesses called police, but Wyatt said she had permission though the vehicle's owner denied knowing her or giving consent.
  • Court records show Wyatt is scheduled to appear on Friday and be arraigned later this week; the District Attorney's Office said it will not comment further, and KHOU 11 and KPRC received no response.
