Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 04:20 · Archive

Oregon Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart was arrested for driving under the influence early Sunday, hours after the team's win.

Oregon Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart was taken into custody early Sunday morning on a driving under the influence charge near the school's Eugene campus. The arrest came hours after Oregon's victory over Nebraska on Saturday night. He was booked into the Springfield Municipal Jail according to police records.

Head coach Dan Lanning said he was still gathering information about the incident but vowed to take what he called 'appropriate action' once he had all the necessary details. He stated the matter would be handled internally rather than discussed publicly with the media. 'There was an incident this weekend that didn't match our standard here in our program,' Lanning said.

Stewart did not play in Saturday's game against Nebraska due to an undisclosed injury. The fifth-year wide receiver has 27 catches for 352 yards and four touchdowns this season after missing the previous season due to a right patellar tendon tear.
