Evan Stewart arrest details: Oregon WR charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants
Stewart was booked into a Springfield, Oregon jail early Sunday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants. He was released one hour later.
Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart was arrested on Sunday morning for driving under the influence of intoxicants. The former Texas A&M player, who had a strong recruiting profile in his hometown of Memphis, joined the Oregon Ducks in time for the 2024 season. This arrest adds to the challenges facing the Ducks, who were already expected to vie for a national championship before this development.
According to court records, Stewart was cited at 5:34 a.m. PT on Sunday and was taken into custody at Springfield Municipal Jail around 7 a.m. PT. He was released an hour later to a third party, which was identified by local ABC affiliate KATU as his Ducks teammate Dakorien Moore. Stewart had missed playing time due to an undisclosed injury and had been listed as questionable for Oregon's game against Nebraska.
However, he was later downgraded to doubtful, and Ducks head coach Dan Lanning noted the impact of players missing from the team. Stewart, a senior, has been a key contributor for the Ducks, leading the team in receptions (27), yards (352), and touchdowns (four) so far this season.
