Police say his wife Michelle Mangan-Damon was also in the car and described her as being uncooperative with police, even pushing an officer.
Authorities said Damon was slurring his words while speaking to an officer before admitting he had been drinking earlier that night.
He was unsteady on his feet and said he had been drinking “just a little bit” earlier, before he was pulled over at 1:23 AM Friday morning.
Damon also began “motioning with his left hand and fingers in a small pinching motion” to indicate the “little bit” he drank.
