A former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and "Bachelor" contestant is facing another DWI charge after police say she crashed into an ambulance in Southlake and left the scene.

Melissa Rycroft-Strickland, 43, was arrested Saturday, one day after the crash at South Peytonville Avenue and Chimney Works Drive.

Police say the ambulance was stopped at a stop sign when another vehicle hit it and drove away. No injuries were reported.

Officers later identified Rycroft-Strickland as the driver. She was charged with driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident involving more than $200 in damage and driving with an invalid license.

Her bond was set at $9,000.

The arrest comes about two months after she was sentenced to probation in a separate DWI case stemming from a September 2025 arrest
