Huggins Apologizes for Arrest

Cincinnati basketball Coach Bob Huggins apologized to players, friends, his school and the community Friday night for his arrest Wednesday night on a drunk-driving charge.

Village police in Fairfax, just east of Cincinnati, released a police cruiser video showing Huggins’ field sobriety test, which police said he failed.

Huggins had slurred speech, and there was vomit on the driver’s door when he was stopped, the police report said. His car was towed, the report said, and his wife came to pick him up from the police station. Police Chief Rick Patterson said it was Huggins’ first offense. He could be fined and sentenced to three days in jail.
