On June 16, 2022, deputies with the Travis County Sheriff's Office, in the Austin area, responded to an incident involving Clenney.
An 18-year-old said he was walking in a neighborhood when he was approached by a woman who was walking her dogs and who told him she was drunk, the reports said.
The woman, Clenney, who the teen didn't know, requested that he walk her home and after he agreed, he said she started making sexual advances toward him, the reports said.
The teen wasn't interested and texted his father because he felt uncomfortable, and the father came outside and encountered Clenney, who became angry and started cursing, the reports said. At one point Clenney shoved the father, who shoved her back and called police, the reports said.
A deputy arrived and spoke with Clenney's mom, Deborah Clenney, who said her daughter wasn't supposed to be drinking and apologized for her behavior, the reports said.
