Overview
- Daniel Micah Mehler, 40, was taken into custody after officers responded to reports he was driving around his girlfriend’s neighborhood and throwing items at a house.
- An affidavit notes a strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech, unsteady footing, and glassy, blood-shot eyes, and police say Mehler refused field sobriety testing.
- Officers reported finding three small paper tabs inside a gum wrapper, described in records as fewer than 20 units of a Penalty Group 1A substance.
- He faces a controlled-substance possession charge and suspected driving-while-intoxicated, was booked into Bexar County Jail, released on bond, and is due in court in November.
- Mehler is a cannabis-focused defense lawyer who brands himself as the “dopest lawyer in town,” and prior charges from 2024 were dismissed earlier this year for insufficient evidence.
