Courtney Fuhrmann was Evans’ passenger but today she is not talking. Her LinkedIn page lists Fuhrmann as working in real estate. She was arrested after she allegedly refused to stay in Evans’ car after his arrest. Law enforcement tell AJC that “several times” Courtney Fuhrmann tried to leave the vehicle, was told to remain in the car, and tried to leave again.

The vehicle was Evans, not Fuhrmann’s. Evans of course is the
University of Georgia Athletic Director. UGA president Michael Adams said today “[We] reserve further action pending a full review by staff and legal counsel.

“Drinking and driving is a serious matter, and I was extremely disappointed to hear of the arrest. Certainly this is not an example of the kind of leadership that I expect our senior administrators to set. I have high regard for Damon personally; I care deeply about him and his family and know him to be a man of integrity. He has sincerely apologized to me for the embarrassment this has brought upon the university.”
