Keenan Evans, a star player for Lithuanian basketball club Zalgiris Kaunas, was arrested early Monday morning for driving under the influence of alcohol. According to local police spokesperson Romunas Matonis, Evans was stopped at 12:30 AM during a targeted enforcement operation while driving a Volkswagen. A breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol level to be 0.107%, more than two and a half times the legal limit.
