Former KWTX (Waco) Morning Anchor Taina Maya was busted by police and charged in a domestic incident.

Waco police confirmed that Maya was arrested on a charge of assault-family violence.

Maya left the station to go work for the Killeen Independent School District as their chief public information officer.

Maya was busted after police say she got into a verbal argument with her husband at their home in Waco.

“It’s really saddening,” she said. “It’s a really personal matter because it has to do with my marriage and my family. It’s unfortunate that our emotions got the best of us because this is not who we are: we love each other and our children.”

She said that she immediately notified the Killeen school district about the arrest, even though the charge is not among the “reportable offenses” that requires an employee to notify the district.

Reportable offenses in the district include driving while intoxicated or criminal allegations involving children.

Maya said that she and her husband are talking with an attorney about getting the charge dropped.

“This just makes my heart hurt and we’re asking for prayers and grace and mercy,” Maya said.
