According to police records, besides amounts of methamphetamine, the police also seized a large glass monkey bong, a small glass bong, five glass pipes with residue, 11 syringes and two straws from the motel room in which Robertson was found.
Robertson was later released on a bond of $1500 from the Dallas County jail.
Staff of Quality Inn on Interstate 30 near North Jim Miller Road called in the police on Monday to report a man had overdosed. Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedics reached the spot before the police, and by the time police arrived, the paramedics had already administered medication to reverse the effects of the drug overdose.
After he woke up, Robertson admitted that he uses meth, but he could not recall anything that had happened after 5 p.m. After being informed that he was going to be arrested, Robertson wanted to contact a supervisor in the narcotics division, but his request was denied. Then, on his request, he was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
After his release from the hospital and while he was being taken for jail, Robertson again dropped names of narcotics detectives and wanted to contact them. The police report mentioned that Robertson told the police, "Can't you guys show me some discretion?" But when asked, he refused to elaborate what he meant by "discretion."
It hurts, but it's just another instance of substance abuse by lawyers - a problem bar associations across the country are seriously worried about. It removes credibility from lawyers, and it does make one wonder about the outcomes after finding out his or her lawyer uses meth.
