Shepard was given some testing by the police officer who used the breathalyzer device and they found he had twice the legal limit of alcohol in his blood at the time he was pulled over. At the time he was pulled over police also discovered that he was driving approximately at 46 miles per hour in a zone where only 30 miles per hour was allowed. Shepard told the police on the scene of the drinking and driving incident that he was at a local bar and that he was on his way to a hotel as he was traveling from Minnesota to his home base in Kentucky.
