"Schwertner was arrested around 12:45 a.m. on Feb. 7 after an Austin police officer reported a black Cadillac, driven by Schwertner, was “swerving to the right and the left and split the two lanes repeatedly,” according to a probable cause affidavit.

The morning of Schwertner’s arrest, the officer followed the senator’s car and saw it continue to swerve between lanes, the affidavit said. The officer stopped the car and the driver identified himself as Schwertner."

Schwertner, 52, has faced other scandals in the past. In 2018, he was accused of sending sexually explicit photos of his genitals to a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin. He denied the allegations, saying that someone else sent the messages using his LinkedIn account and another privacy phone messaging app that belongs to him.
