A sports anchor for KSAT 12 was arrested on driving while intoxicated charges early Friday morning, January 27, after reportedly coming home from a bar on San Antonio’s Northwest Side. Court records and multiple reports say KSAT sports anchor and director Greg Simmons, 67, was arrested after he was seen driving his vehicle at 20 miles per hour down Evans Road, according to KSAT.
Simmons was reportedly on his way home from The Green Lantern Bar on Stone Oak Parkway when he was pulled over by a Bexar County Sheriff’s deputy. Reports say that Simmons smelled of alcohol and struggled to maintain his balance while trying to walk. Police reported that Simmons couldn’t recite the alphabet correctly and handed the officer his credit card instead of his driver license.
The deputy requested a blood draw warrant since Simmons refused to take a breathalyzer test. Court records show that Simmons was charged with DWI, a class B misdemeanor, and his bond was set at $1,000. KSAT reports that Simmons was still in jail as of 11 a.m. Friday. He has no prior criminal history.
Simmons has been employed with KSAT since 1980 covering everything from the Spurs to high school sports. In July 2022, Simmons was inducted into the San Antonio ISD Athletic Hall of Fame for his high school sports reporting. He is a 1974 graduate of Jefferson High School.
