Lewisburg man gets 10 years probation in Mifflinburg DUI crash case
A Lewisburg man got 10 years of probation after a Mifflinburg DUI crash left a 3-year-old in a flipped SUV.
A Lewisburg man will spend 10 years on probation, not in prison, after a Mifflinburg DUI crash that put a 3-year-old child in a flipped SUV. Union-Snyder President Judge Lori R. Hackenberg sentenced Gregory Gene Doebler, 33, of South 19th Street, on June 10 and ordered him to pay $3,600 in fines plus court costs and fees.
Doebler pleaded guilty in three cases to felony child endangerment and misdemeanor defiant trespass, intentional possession of a controlled substance and driving under the influence. All other charges were dismissed. Mifflinburg police said the crash happened at 6:25 p.m. on July 23, 2025, on Chestnut Street, after Doebler was driving under the influence of a controlled substance with a 3-year-old child in the SUV. A drug screen reportedly tested positive for methamphetamine.
The child-safety issues did not end at the crash scene. Police said Doebler’s girlfriend, Olivia Anna Mahalski, 35, of Timberhaven Drive in Lewisburg, took the child from the back seat, ran to the nearby Scarlet D bar and left the child unattended there while she tried to flush two hypodermic syringes with needles in the bathroom. Mahalski later pleaded guilty in December to misdemeanor child endangerment and received five years of probation plus treatment-court supervision.
The sentence left Doebler under long-term court supervision after a case that blended impaired driving, child endangerment and drug possession. Pennsylvania law requires judges to spell out probation conditions when they impose them, and the state authorizes sanctions when those conditions are violated, so the 10-year term keeps the case under court control long after the plea hearing ended.
