Somerville was arrested on suspicion of criminal threats, battery, public intoxication and probation violation, Berkeley police told the Berkley Scanner.
He was placed in Berkley Jail on $32,500 bond, which he posted and was released at 2:20 a.m. Tuesday, police said to the outlet.
Somerville “displayed objective signs and symptoms of public intoxication and was witnessed driving under the influence of alcohol,” according to Berkeley police. “I got trashed,” he admitted. “I mean, there’s no other way to say it. I got trashed in my apartment and wanted to go to Taco Bell, which is two and a half blocks away from where I live. I made the idiotic decision to drive. I had absolutely no business at all to drive — at all.”
