When Bitz pulled Thomson over, the trooper said he noticed the priest seemed disoriented. When he asked for Thomson's vehicle registration, he said Thomson instead produced a receipt.

The trooper asked the priest if he had any weapons on him. Thomson said he had a .357 in the back seat, but allegedly didn't tell the officer that he also had a 9mm pistol in his back pocket, according to the Sky Valley Chronicle.

The priest also allegedly neglected to tell the trooper he had a small bag of marijuana in his sweatshirt.

Thomson's breath-alcohol content was registered at 0.247, three times more than the legal limit. After he was taken to the station, Thomson allegedly refused to take another, more accurate breathalyzer, because "[he] said he was drunk and did not feel the test was necessary," Bitz said in his report.
