Todd Pegram, the Aggies starting kicker for the previous two sea sons, faces a charge of evading arrest. He posted $2,500 bail and was released from the Brazos County Jail on Sunday, according to the Bryan-College Station Eagle’s Monday edition. Police say the 20-year-old was spotted holding a beer out side a bar when a police officer asked if he was 21, the legal drinking age in Texas. Pegram said he was not, but said he did n’t have any identification with him, according to court records obtained by the newspaper. The officer began walking Pegram to another bar where a second officer was located, but police say Pegram ran as he and the officer reached the door. Pegram was later located at his dorm, where police arrested him early Sunday morning, according to the newspaper. “I am currently looking into these recent events and we will deal with it,” coach Dennis Franchione said Monday upon his return to College Station from a weekend trip.
