The officer then asked Altman over how many drinks he had, and the Cavs executive claimed he had one or two. 

Altman, who informed the officer he was "the president of the Cavaliers," struggled through some of the tests. Between tests, he claimed he was "exhausted" after traveling overseas and coming back from dinner. 

"I’m also exhausted, too. I just got back from an overseas trip. I promise you I’m the president of the Cavaliers," Altman can be heard saying in the video. "I just had a long dinner. I mean, I'm trying to — I understand the tests, I’m just trying to work with you on — I was trying to get home."
