Former KTVU anchor Frank Somerville spoke to KRON about his alcohol use in his first TV appearance since December 2021.
Somerville said that the instance of slurring words on air was due to accidentally taking the sleeping pill Ambien instead of another prescribed medication. He stated that after going on leave, he went to rehab, but continued alcohol use.
Somerville said that he was drinking almost every night, citing sadness and loneliness over his divorce. "It all came to a head when I got the DUI," Somerville said."It was Christmastime. I was away from my family. I didn't see them at all over the holidays. It was just a really sad time, and so I got — I got trashed. There's no other way to say it, I got trashed in my apartment."
Somerville described wanting to go to Taco Bell, which was two blocks from his apartment. He said that he had no business driving and took responsibility for his actions, but had"absolutely no recollection of the accident whatsoever." Although he said he remembers few things from his night in jail, he recalled fighting with police officers over how tight his handcuffs were, which he said he called to apologize for afterwards.
When Moore asked whether he was addicted to alcohol, Somerville said he had"no desire to drink" and has been to DUI classes, but that he has had alcohol at Sharks games in recent months.
