Floyd
Raye Sweat is still being held in the Nacogdoches County Jail on a state-jail
felony charge of driving while intoxicated with a child under the age of 15 in
the car. His bail has been set at $15,000.
According
to the arrest affidavit, the 9-year-old flagged the TPW game warden down. The
boy was a passenger in a gray Ford F-150 pickup. When the game warden made
contact with the truck's driver, Sweat was allegedly "shaking uncontrollably."
At that
point, the game warden asked if everything was OK. The arrest affidavit stated
that the boy "shook his head no and appeared to be scared."
When the
game warden asked Sweat to get out of his pickup, the man had trouble standing
up straight and had to be helped to the rear of the vehicle, according to the
arrest affidavit. The affidavit said Sweat exhibited signs of intoxication.
Later,
Sweat allegedly admitted to the game warden that he had smoked a PCP cigarette and
taken a Hydrocodone pill. A representative from Child Protective Services met
the game warden at Nacogdoches' Hospital, and the boy was released into his
mother's custody.
