It’s time once again to reset the “Days Without An Arrest” ticker, although this time it’s an assistant coach responsible for the resetting.
According to the Albuquerque Journal, New Mexico running backs coach Apollo Wright was arrested Thursday night and charged with driving while intoxicated. What led to the initial traffic stop has yet to be detailed.
In a statement, head coach Bob Davie expressed disappointment over the development, although the Lobos boss declined to address any type of punishment his assistant may face.
“Last (Thursday) night one of our assistant football coaches Apollo Wright informed me that he had been arrested for a DUI,” a statement from Davie began. “This is obviously disappointing and a very serious matter. I will continue to evaluate this as it unfolds.”
Provided he keeps his job, Wright will be entering his fourth season with the Lobos in 2016.
