SAN ANTONIO – He calls himself the “dopest lawyer in town.”

Today, Daniel Micah Mehler is facing charges of driving while intoxicated.

Authorities say Mehler, a 40-year-old cannabis attorney, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and suspicion of driving while intoxicated. According to a warrant, police detected a strong odor of alcohol and observed that Mehler appeared unsteady on his feet. Mehler told officers he has a speech impediment.

Mehler made bond and was released from jail just hours after his arrest.

This is not his first run-in with the law.

Records show he was previously arrested for assaulting a family member and for a DWI nearly 10 years ago.

His next court date for the current charges is scheduled for next month.
