On July 29, 2016, Lincoln Police observed a 1996 Dodge pickup truck
driving slowly and erratically at or near the intersection of S. McLean
Street and Pulaski Street. A traffic stop was conducted and the driver
was identified as Jacob Mehan. Officers smelled a strong odor of
alcoholic beverage coming from Mehan’s breath and also observed poor
balance. Officers also located an open bottle of alcohol within the cab
of the pickup truck. Based upon Mehan’s two prior convictions of driving
under the influence, the offense was elevated to a felony.

Due to resisting on scene, medical personnel were dispatched to
provide treatment to Jacob Mehan. While providing care, Mehan kicked
the hand of one of the first responders which lead to the offense of
Aggravated Battery.
The sentence calls for a 3 year sentence to prison on both
Aggravated Driving Under the Influence and Aggravated Battery which
will run concurrent to each other.
