"often failing to report for work on Mondays, sniffing paint fumes at a local auto-body shop while on duty and in uniform, and shaking during work after drinking too many energy drinks." (Sounds Like Delerium Tremens to me, not energy drinks)

"Seivert also attended the meeting. When he was given an opportunity to respond, he admitted to having an alcohol problem, the ruling said."

More than that, it sounds as if he has a multiple substance abuse problem. Not good to let someone have a gun when still active abuse. Sounds like a credible decision to me.
