WACO, TX — Killeen ISD spokesperson Taina Maya has been arrested for misdemeanor assault following a domestic dispute.

Authorities say she was arrested for assault family violence in Waco the night of October 14.

Maya told 25 News that it is a personal matter and she and her family are asking for prayers at this time.

Dr. John Craft, Superintendent of Killeen ISD, released the following statement.

“Taina Maya informed me of her arrest in her home Wednesday night and of the misdemeanor assault charge resulting from a domestic dispute with her husband. All KISD employees are accountable for his or her public conduct even when he or she is not acting as a District employee. However, based on the information available at this time, the events leading to Ms. Maya’s arrest occurred in the privacy of her home. While the District does not condone domestic violence of any type, it does strive to respect the privacy of its employees.”
