According to police, when they responded to her address, she was being helped by two other people. The people told police that they had given Silvestri help in getting home, and then provided her with a mixed drink of vodka and orange juice.

A search of Silvestri’s truck was conducted, and police said a small baggie of marijuana was found in a passenger compartment, along with a glass marijuana smoking pipe.
