Once he was attentive, officers asked what happened, and Bearden reportedly shrugged his shoulders. He then admitted to drinking three mixed alcoholic drinks in the hour prior to driving. He reeked of alcohol and performed poorly on field sobriety tests. He blew 0.230% BAC on a breathalyzer, nearly three times the legal limit in Tennessee.
