We caution the reader that one is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in court. But if the following allegations turn out to be true, it is once again proof that substance abuse and addiction does not discriminate on the basis of education, class, or profession.
Given the immense stress that attorneys face in the legal profession, they tend to suffer higher rates of alcohol abuse. When attorneys turn to illegal drugs, the substance of choice is normally cocaine. That may be the case concerning a lawyer from Texas. An attorney from Corpus Christi - who happens to be 70-years old - was in court for a pre-trial docket call for his own trial for possession of a controlled substance. But he is accused of failing a drug test and was about to be jailed. Must have been for breaking the terms of bail. Officers said he had cocaine on him so he was arrested. The story, photos, and a video is here.
The Texas Lawyers Assistance Program offers help to attorneys - day or night -regarding substance abuse and addiction issues.
