Cheyenne Man With Prior Drug Convictions Busted for Meth

A 41-year-old Cheyenne man is facing a felony charge after reportedly being caught with methamphetamine.

According to a booking sheet, police arrested Henry Daniel Resler Jr. at the Maverik at 3354 E. Lincolnway at 12:53 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Resler was booked into the Laramie County Detention Center and subsequently charged with possession of a controlled substance - third or subsequent offense, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, up to a $5,000 fine, or both.

Initial Court Appearance

The following afternoon, Aug. 28, Resler was seen in Laramie County Circuit Court in front of Judge TJ Forwood on the charge.

Forwood appointed Resler a public defender and asked the state for recommendation on bond.

"Mr. Resler does have a history of controlled substance-related offenses from 2004, 2004, 2013, and 2023, as well as a history of probation violations from 2008, 2018, 2024, and 2025, in addition to a history of failure to appears from 2018, 2023, and 2025, and a history of contempt of court from 2023, 2023, and 2025, in addition to other concerning felony convictions not drug-related but concerning," the state said.

"All of that gives the state very serious concerns for the safety of the community as well as Mr. Resler's ability to comply with court orders and any conditions that this court might set while on bond," the state added. "For those reasons the state believes that a cash bond is appropriate and would request $5,000 cash."

Bond Set at $5K Cash

Forwood adopted the state's recommendation and set bond conditions, ordering weekly drug testing through the Drug Testing Center of Cheyenne, and Resler's preliminary hearing was set for Friday, Sept. 5, at 9 a.m.
