Spurs General Manager R.C. Buford is facing a DWI charge after he crashed into a fence late Friday just west of downtown, authorities said.
Buford, 51, was arrested close to midnight and charged with driving while intoxicated with an open container. He was released from the magistrate shortly before 7 a.m. Saturday on $2,500 bail.
San Antonio police said officers responded to a call for a disturbance at 11:40 p.m. in the 500 block of North Leona Street and were told by Bexar County Hospital District police that Buford had crashed into a fence. No injuries were reported.
Buford had blood drawn, said Officer Matt Porter, a spokesman with the San Antonio Police Department.
A statement issued by the Spurs on Saturday said Buford is a type 1 diabetic and that the crash was “precipitated by a severe low blood sugar reaction.”
