>>> underwear, Evans said: ``She took them off and I held them because

>>> ``Just to let you know, it will be erased because he is the

>>> Fuhrmann told the Associated Press on Friday the charges against

>>> Evans and his attorney Steve Weiner did not immediately return
>>> calls seeking comment, but Evans apologized for the incident during

>>> ``My behavior and my actions are not indicative of what we teach

>>> A bleary-eyed Evans told the officer he drank two vodka martinis at
>>> a restaurant and another at a nearby bar, according to the report.
>>> The officer noted that Evans had ``red, bloodshot, watery eyes and

>>> ``I feel pretty good,'' he told the officer, before laughing for no

>>> longtime lieutenants.
>>> He was the public face of the school's athletic department, and

>>> urges fans not to drive under the influence. ``If you drink and
>>> drive, you lose,'' he says.
