Apparently, head coaches need to worry about their bosses dipping their toes into legal hot water this time of year as well as their players.
According to the FOX affiliate in Atlanta, Georgia athletic director Damon Evans was arrested Wednesday night following a traffic stop and charged with DUI.
The station reports that Evans’ 2009 BMW was pulled over at 11:55 p.m. Wednesday. Evans was given a field sobriety test, and then later refused to take a breathalyzer test.
(It also apparently took police officers quite some time to set the camera up for Evans’ mug shot as the athletic director appears to have nodded off at some point during the process.)
UGA’s president is expected to release a statement on Evans’ arrest at some point Thursday.
UPDATED 12:09 p.m. ET: The University of Georgia has a message for their fans attending games at Sanford Stadium, reminding them to not drink and drive. Guess who delivers the message? Ummm, oops?
