Greg Simmons, the sports director for KSAT 12, has resigned. He was arrested and charged with DWI on Friday, Jan. 27, 2023.has resigned from the station.according to KSAT.

“For the past 42 years, I have had the honor of working with the best in the business while sharing my passion for sports and our community with all of you,” Simmons said in a statement given to the television station. “I am overwhelmed and humbled by the love and support from family, friends and viewers in light of recent events. I have resigned from my role as Sports Director at KSAT 12.

Simmons was pulled over early Friday morning after Bexar County deputies responded to reports that he had been drifting from side to side. According to an arrest report, a Bexar County sheriff’s deputy observed Simmons driving erratically before he came to a stop on Evans Road near TPC Parkway on the far North Side.

It took five minutes for Simmons to pull over after a deputy signaled him to do so, a report states. He had trouble maintaining focus and believed he was driving on U.S. 281, investigators said. He also gave the deputy a gold American Express card when asked for his license, according to the report.

Anybody who’s been out and about the SA scene at any point in the the last 25 years has known about his “drinking problem”, and his propensity to be the old guy at the club. Sad.
