INTOXICATED MALE DRIVES THROUGH SECURITY CHECKPOINT AT NASA On Friday, July 29th, 2023 at approximately 2:32 AM, Precinct 8 Deputies Webber and P. Gonzales with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office responded to a trespassing call at the Johnson Space Center in the 100 block of Second St. Deputies arrived on scene and were advised by NASA security of an intoxicated male who drove through the security checkpoint. Deputies made contact with the driver and identified him as 39 year old Kyle Matthew Berthelot. Berthelot displayed multiple signs of intoxication. Deputies administered the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and determined the driver was unable to operate a vehicle safely. During the investigation, Berthelot became agitated and made threats to harm Deputy Webber. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted charges for Driving While Intoxicated and felony Retaliation. Berthelot was transported the Harris County Joint Processing Center where his bonds were set at $11,500 total. At the time of his arrest, Berthelot was out on bond for a DWI case that occurred in May 2023.
