EUGENE — Oregon co-offensive coordinator David Reaves, already in the process of being fired following a January DUII arrest, instead resigned Friday, according to a school spokesman.
Reaves is set to be arraigned Feb. 13 in Eugene Municipal Court on charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving and reckless endangerment stemming from a Jan. 22 police stop in downtown Eugene. The university announced the day of the arrest it had placed Reaves on administrative leave with plans to fire him, a statement that came just five days after his hiring — his two-year contract was set to pay him $300,000 annually — was officially announced by UO.
