> Steven Teuber, suspended Florida attorney, faces potential five-year prison sentence after police found edibles and ammunition during a probation compliance search in Pinellas County.

## Las claves

- Attorney Steven Teuber arrested for possessing edibles and ammunition while on probation
- Pinellas County court proceedings scheduled following violation of domestic violence restraining order
- The Florida Bar has suspended his license due to prior stalking convictions

A Sarasota-based attorney is facing potential incarceration after violating the terms of his probation, according to court documents and police reports. Steven Teuber, 63, was returned to the Pinellas County jail following a compliance search that uncovered controlled substances and ammunition. The discovery threatens to convert his current five-year probation for aggravated stalking into a prison sentence.

### Probation Violations and New Charges

The Florida Supreme Court previously suspended Teuber’s law license after he admitted to using tracking devices to stalk his estranged wife. That conviction resulted in a five-year term of probation imposed by a Pinellas County court. However, authorities allege that Teuber violated the terms of this supervision when police executed a search warrant at his residence.

According to an arrest report, officers located 61 gummies and other edible items containing controlled substances, along with 13 rounds of ammunition. These findings were made during a routine probation compliance check. The presence of these items constitutes a violation of the conditions set by the court, potentially exposing Teuber to immediate imprisonment.

### History of Domestic Violence Allegations

The current legal troubles stem from incidents dating back to mid-2025. A domestic violence restraining order was initially issued against Teuber on June 12, 2025, at the request of his wife. Court dockets indicate that this order remained active when police were called to the couple's residence in Treasure Island just 16 days later, a story we covered in [Florida Prepares for 14th Execution This Year at State Prison](/noticia/florida-prepares-for-14th-execution-this-year-at-state-prison).

Police reports describe a physical altercation where officers heard cries for help before entering a bedroom. The report details injuries sustained by Teuber’s wife, including an actively bleeding bite mark on her hand and surrounding bruising. These events led to his initial arrest for misdemeanor battery and the subsequent stalking charges that resulted in his probation, as we reported in [Florida Prepares for 14th Execution This Year at State Prison](/noticia/florida-prepares-for-14th-execution-this-year-at-state-prison).

### Legal Proceedings Underway

A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Friday to address several critical issues, including Teuber’s motion requesting the court set bond or release him on his own recognizance. The outcome of this hearing will determine whether he remains in custody while facing additional charges related to the probation violation, more details at [Primicias](https://primicias.ec).

The duration of Teuber's suspension from The Florida Bar has not yet been determined by state disciplinary authorities. He joined the bar in 2005 and practiced law out of Sarasota, located approximately one hour from his former residence in Treasure Island. Legal experts note that violations of probation involving controlled substances often result in strict judicial responses.
