A person identified as Oregon Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart was booked into the Springfield Municipal Jail in Springfield, Oregon, on a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) on Sunday, October 18, according to KATU.
The information came from a jail employee who spoke to the news outlet. The individual was released approximately one hour later.
The jail employee told KATU that officers booked the person at approximately 7 a. m.
Sunday. According to the same account, the release occurred around 8 a.
m. , when the individual was turned over to a third party.
KATU reported that the third party's name matched that of another Oregon Ducks wide receiver.
The report did not provide further details about the circumstances surrounding the booking or the alleged incident.
No Confirmation From Oregon Football Program
The University of Oregon football program had not responded to KATU's request for confirmation and comment by the time the news outlet published its report on Sunday.
The reported booking followed the circulation of social media posts claiming that multiple Oregon Ducks football players had been arrested.
KATU did not provide additional confirmation of those broader claims in the report.
The available information in KATU's report did not establish further details about the allegations or indicate whether additional legal proceedings had occurred.
KATU said it would update its report if new information became available or the University of Oregon issued a response.
