The wife of Republican Texas gubernatorial candidate Allen West was released Saturday after being arrested on Friday night for allegedly driving while intoxicated (DWI) with her young grandson in the car. West tweeted out an update late Saturday afternoon saying his wife, Angela, was "released" and thanked his followers for the "many messages with support and prayers." West's wife was stopped by a Dallas officer assigned with the DWI Squad for a traffic violation before 8:45 p.m. Friday. West's infant grandson, Jackson, was released to a family member after his grandmother's arrest. On Sunday, West posted a photo of his wife's receipt from PF Chang's showing that no alcohol had been ordered.
