Charges have been dropped against the woman who was with former University of Georgia Athletic Director Damon Evans when he was arrested for driving under the influence in northeast Atlanta nearly two years ago.
The Atlanta city solicitor’s office dismissed the disorderly conduct charge against Courtney Fuhrmann on Monday.
According to Solicitor Raines Carter, Fuhrmann entered a pretrial diversion program, and the charge was dropped after she completed required hours of community service.
Fuhrmann was a passenger in Evans’ BMW the night of June 30, 2010, when he was pulled over on Roswell Road near Chastain Drive.
Georgia State Patrol Trooper M. Cabe wrote in his report on the traffic stop that Evans had a pair of red panties between his legs, and when asked about them, he told the trooper that Fuhrmann “took them off and I held them because I was trying to get her home.”
Furhmann was being “very loud and obnoxious and was obviously intoxicated,” Cabe wrote in his report, adding that the 28-year-old woman repeatedly got out of the car, ignoring the trooper’s instructions, before she was handcuffed and charged with disorderly conduct.
Evans, who reached an agreement to leave the university four days after his arrest, later pleaded guilty to charges of DUI and failure to maintain lane. He was sentenced in January, 2011, to 12 months of probation and 40 hours of community service and fined $750.
