Councilman Marc Whyte was arrested in December after a traffic stop. No charges have been officially filed as of yet.
SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio City Council member’s DWI case was reset for a third time Tuesday. It was the first time District 10 Councilman Marc Whyte will be in court since his DWI arrest in December.
Whyte was pulled over by police on the north side when officers say he was speeding and swerving between lanes without a signal.
The preliminary hearing, which was initially scheduled for March, will take place at 9:30 a.m. at the Bexar County Courthouse. A court clerk confirmed Whyte will have to attend. Reporters can also be present but cameras will not be allowed.
Whyte was taken into custody the night of Dec. 29 on the north side, when officials say he showed signs of intoxication. He was released the next day after posting bond, and later said he “did not feel intoxicated” when he drove home. Still White took ownership and apologized for the incident.
In January, he was censured and suspended from his committee assignments on council, but was reinstated last month.
Driving while intoxicated carries a punishment of up to 180 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000 for adults who are convicted. Those found guilty may also have their license suspended for two years.
