UCF Sports Announcer and Radio Host Arrested for DUI

Hans Erik Kohler, UCF’s public address announcer for sports, including football, men’s basketball and baseball, was arrested Thursday for a DUI, according to an Orange County police report.

Kohler is a CBS affiliated Sports Radio Orlando host, according to his Twitter page. He is not a host for the actual CBS radio network, however. He’s also the announcer for the Washington Nationals in spring training at Viera. Kohler is known among UCF football fans for his iconic “That’s good for another UCF first down!” line.

According to the police report, Kohler was stopped Thursday night by an officer for doing 58mph in a 35mph zone. The officer then detected traces of alcohol which prompted several sobriety tests, according to the report. Kohler was then placed under arrest for a DUI, the report states.

“In life unexpected things happen which u can’t control, practice positive #energy and surround yourself with family & friends who know u!,” Kohler posted in a message on his Twitter page.

KnightNews.com contacted UCF for a statement regarding the situation.

“We are aware of what took place and will address it appropriately,” UCF spokesperson Grant Heston said.
