"I'm devastated at the events of the last several days that have been a result of my father's alcoholism," Brandon told PEOPLE in a statement. 'I've worked tirelessly organizing an intervention and it's incredibly upsetting that it never came to fruition."

"I wanted my dad's hopeful sobriety and recovery to be a private family matter but, as a result of his accusations on social media, I feel forced to speak out," Brandon continued. "I have and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement as needed. I love my father and just want to see him sober, happy and healthy."
