Officials said they received a call from NASA security saying an intoxicated male drove through the security checkpoint.
After officials arrived, they said Berthelot displayed multiple signs of intoxication. After deputies conducted the standardized field sobriety tests, it was determined Berthelot was unable to operate a vehicle safely.
Also during the investigation, officials said Berthelot became agitated and made threats to harm one deputy.
Berthelot was later taken to the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bonds were set at $11,500.
