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.

The arrest came just days after the sheriff made headlines for calling some undocumented immigrants "drunks who will run over your children."

Sheriff Waybourn released a statement Saturday night concerning the arrest saying:

"The family and I are deeply saddened by Sergei’s choices. It has been many years since he disassociated from our family. We, along with many family members have made efforts over the years to help him - all to no avail. It is always sad when drugs take control of a person’s life. His choices and actions have lead to this situation."
