Noteworthy events
Glickler arrested on suspicion of DWI
On May 26, 2015, Glickler was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after attending a concert with his wife in Austin, Texas. He was stopped on Interstate 35 by a deputy of the Hays County Sheriff’s Office, who then performed a roadside investigation of Glickler and interviewed him. The deputy then arrested Glickler on probable cause suspicion that Glickler had been driving while intoxicated.[5]
Glickler issued a statement after his arrest, stating: “While it is very early in the process, I know that I was not intoxicated last evening, and look forward to the opportunity to clear my name in court. Nonetheless, I do recognize that I have placed myself in an unfortunate circumstance, and I hope the citizens of Hays County will see past this incident and examine the work I have been and will continue to do in the Courts of Hays County.”[5]
A court date was scheduled for December 3, 2015.[6] Then in March 2016, Glickler waived his right to a jury trial. According to his attorney, he was expected to take a plea agreement on May 4.[7][8] In May 2016, Glickler pleaded no contest to drunken driving and received a sentence of three days in jail. He was given credit for the time he served after his arrest, so he only had to serve one more day.[9]
According to local media reports, Glickler had been arrested for reckless driving in 2004. He was stopped for allegedly driving backwards on a one-way street, and spent the night in jail after refusing to take a breathalyzer test.[10]
