Former Titan Vince Young apologizes after DWI arrest

Former Titan quarterback Vince Young was arrested early Monday morning in Austin on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated.

Young was booked into Travis County Jail at 12:46 a.m. Monday after a traffic stop two miles north of the Texas campus.

The arrest warrant said that a police cruiser witnessed Young's car idling for 10 seconds at a green light, then not signaling for a lane change and drifting in the lane while driving. After stopping the car, the officer believed that Young was intoxicated, saying he had glassy eyes, slurred his speech, had a strong odor of alcohol and was swaying while walking. According to the report, Young refused a breathalyzer.

His bail was set at $2,000.

Young apologized in a statement he released Monday night.

"Regardless of the outcome of the pending investigation, I would like my friends, family and fans to know that I do not condone drinking and driving in any way whatsoever. I am very disappointed in myself and am sorry for any conduct that has made this legal process necessary. I specifically want to apologize to the young men and women who look up to me as a role model and my employers at the University of Texas and the Longhorn Network.

"Please let this be a lesson to you all and a moment for you to learn from me. As a public figure, I take very seriously my obligation to set an example for others to learn from."
