I’ve obtained the recently-released Georgia State Patrol incident report of the DUI arrest of Georgia Athletic Director Damon Evans.
(You can read complete incident report here)
From the arresting officer’s narrative, Evans admitted that he had consumed three liquor drinks when he was pulled over and said after the officer approached his vehicle, “I am not trying to bribe you but I’m the athletic director of the University of Georgia.”
Other notable excerpts from the narrative:
When the officer told Evans that he was impaired and should not be driving, Evans said, “maybe so.”
The officer reported that during the traffic stop at one point Evans said, “I feel pretty good.” The officer noted Evans then “smiled and laughed for no apparent reason.”
The officer described the passenger in the car, 28-year-old Courtney Fuhrman, as “loud and obnoxious.” When the officer arrested Fuhrmann, Evans said, “I have a young lady and she is intoxicated and I’m just trying to get her home. I apologize and don’t want to use my influence but she is trying to protect me.”
When Evans was arrested the officer wrote that the Georgia AD “admitted again that he’d been drinking and started crying.”
The officer wrote, “I noticed that the subject (Evans) had a red pair of lady’s panties between his legs. … I asked the subject what the panties were doing in his side of the seat and he stated, ’she took them off and I held them because I was just trying to get her home. … I don’t want to use who I am but I would ask that you take me to a motel.’”
The officer later wrote, “I asked Ms. Fuhrmann how long they’d been seeing each other and she said, ‘only about a week or so‘”.
At one point, Fuhrmann said to the officer, “I promise you one thing he (Evans) will get off. Just to let you know it will be erased because he is the athletic director of UGA and he has that power.”
The report also stated that as the officer was taking the Georgia AD to jail, Evans “began crying uncontrollably.”
As noted yesterday, Evans is married with two children. At a press conference yesterday he told the media that the passenger in the vehicle, 28-year-old Courtney Fuhrman, was “just a friend.”
Evans is scheduled to appear in Atlanta Municipal Court on July 12 to enter a plea to the DUI charge.

Damon Evans blows past USC AD Mike Garrett to seize the title of “Division I’s Most Embarrassing AD”.

@Question?
The time stamp isn’t earlier when I load the page. Also, not to “defend” him, but the SbB timestamp may be Pacific time while the AJC article is East Coast…

I didn’t realize an AD had that kind of power. Hurm.

,,makes you wonder how a person with that kind of character ever got that job. Save your “this is only one time” cries. To do what this person did and with a pig like that and be comfortable with it takes practice. And the “she-male” sounds like she not only has zero morals but also maybe a sixth grade education. The only hope of making the best of this is that Evans’s children know how not to be a loser ,, i.e. not to be like dad.

oh, and someone let Courtney know that blue eye shadow was only marginally acceptable in the late ’70s on 16 year old girls.

If the chick in that photo is 28 years old, then Phil Jackson’s gotta be 45. Right? That trick looks like she’s got some miles with definite wear and tear that’s not covered under warranty, if you know what I’m saying.

Hire a token and this is what you get, just ask USC.

I’m tired of everyone calling this poor girl a man. Sometimes people do it to me and it drives me crazy.

I need to give my brother Damon a lesson on getting some stank on the side. This Dawg won’t hunt!

These two scions of society need to get their stories straight. Mr. Evans was the AD at UGA. Not sure why she got popped? Maybe being rude is against the law? I don’t think riding in a car with a married man drunk is. Mr. Evans should have lunch with Gov.’s Spitzer and Sanford one day. Invite Mike Price.

These two idiots are an embarrassment to the fine state of Georgia, but I do want to get on the record that this patrolman has an exceptional way with words and created an exemplary police report. Just outstanding work in the jungle that is Atlanta…

In a word…BUSTED!

Hey Damon. How was your father’s day? Your kids must be so proud. That hoochie is 28?? Sure she is. Maybe 15 years ago.
10:50 pm on July 3rd, 2010
Hey, She could very well be 28. Have you people never heard of the term “rode hard and put up wet” It tends to have negative effects on the body and/or face.

Yea, I hit it…

How many other readers have had a drink and then drove? This is a serious wake-up call. This could have been many of us - including me. Thankfully, I will take something away from this so that it will not in the future.
