He also mentioned buying grenades.
“Officers saturated the victim’s neighborhood, notified the police department where the suspect lived, and began searching for him,” police said.
A patrol officer located Brewer parked on the shoulder of Highway 101 northbound at the CA 92 connector, police said.
“Based on Brewer’s location and time of his contact, it appeared he was leaving the victim’s neighborhood and heading back to his home in Brisbane,” police said.
Brewer was found to be "heavily intoxicated" at the time of his arrest, and a search of his van revealed a baseball bat and four knives, police said.
No guns or grenades were located.
Brewer was also in possession of $10,000 currency band bundles, which appeared to be fake money purchased online.
