COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — An underage Texas A&M
University football player who police say ran from them when
they spotted him holding a beer at a bar was arrested later at his
college dormitory.
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.
Billions in tax refunds still unclaimed
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 2 million students, retirees and

act quickly to claim the money.
The Internal Revenue Service said Monday that anyone who
should have gotten a refund for taxes paid in 2000 but didn’t file
a return must file and claim the money by April 15.
