Prosecutors upgrade DWI charge against former KSAT sportscaster A deputy followed Simmons with his lights and siren on for about five minutes before the sportscaster pulled over, the report said. Simmons believed he was driving on U.S. 281, and when a deputy asked to see his license, Simmons handed him a gold American Express card, the report said. Authorities could not obtain a breath sample from Simmons, so a licensed vocational nurse drew his blood.
