SAN ANTONIO — Mayor Ivy Taylor’s 19-year-old stepson Aaron Marshall Taylor was arrested late Monday night for possession of marijuana, according to Bexar County Central Magistrate records.

Taylor was allegedly in possession of less than two ounces of marijuana when he taken into custody around 11:25 p.m. on the North Side.

Officers were initially dispatched to the 1300 block of Arroyo Vista Drive after receiving reports of a suspicious vehicle, according to details released by the San Antonio Police Department Tuesday morning.

Police arrived to find Taylor and a female inside the vehicle and began to question them.

Police said there was a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle, and one of the responding officers noticed a baggie inside of Taylor’s pocket.

Authorities said Taylor was asked to step out of the vehicle, and the baggie was removed.

Officers were able to confirm that the baggie contained marijuana, and placed Taylor under arrest, police said.

According to a SAPD incident report, officers also found a pipe in the floorboard of the vehicle, along with a grinder with residue.

Taylor was released at 10:50 a.m.

His bond amount was set at $800.

"I heard a little bit about it," Ivy Taylor said following a celebration of the designation of the San Antonio missions as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. "Families face challenges, I just ask everyone to keep our family in their prayers."

Aaron Taylor, an aspiring vocalist, graduated from North East School of the Arts at Lee High School in 2014 and reportedly won a full scholarship to Boston's Berklee College of Music.

His audition video, posted to YouTube last year, has garnered more than 25,000 views.
