Giants Player Adrian Awasom Arrested on Drunken-Driving Charge
By Aaron Kuriloff
Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- New York Giants defensive end Adrian Awasom was arrested on a charge of drunken driving less than three days before the National Football League team plays in the Super Bowl, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.
Awasom played primarily for the Giants' special-teams unit in the first two games of the season, recording no tackles, before hurting his neck and spending the rest of the season on injured reserve.
Awasom's agent, J. Lawrence Temple, didn't immediately return a voice-mail message left at his office.
Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon said in an e-mail that Awasom arrived in town yesterday and had been sent home by the team.
The Giants face the New England Patriots in the NFL title game on Feb. 3.
