Officials said Silvers admitted to consuming six longneck bottles of beer between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Friday.

Bradley also consulted with Field Supervising Captain Kenny Dyer regarding the incident. They decommissioned Silvers and drove him to his Hendersonville home with the understanding that he was to report to police headquarters Monday morning.
