Trevor Etienne, a star running back for Georgia, was arrested for several offenses.
Online records revealed that Georgia Bulldogs star running back Trevor Etienne was taken into custody early on Sunday morning on four misdemeanor offenses, one of which was DUI. At approximately 4:35 a.m. in Athens, Etienne, 20, was scheduled to appear in the Athens-Clarke Jail. He was freed after over sixty minutes.
Records indicated that in addition to being charged with DUI, he was also charged with careless driving, affixing objects that restrict view of windows and windshields, and failing to maintain lane integrity. The allegation of DUI was considered “less safe.” It implies that even if Etienne’s blood alcohol content was below.08, he may still be found guilty of it.
According to a statement from Steven Drummond, Georgia’s executive associate director for strategic communications, “We are aware of the charges and are currently in the process of gathering additional information.” “This is a pending legal matter and we will not have further comment at this time.”
Etienne was among the top players Georgia landed from the transfer portal. He came over from the Florida Gators after rushing for more than 700 yards in the last two seasons.
“Everything that we’ve heard about Etienne before he got here has held true,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said earlier this month as spring practices opened up.
“He is a wonderful young leader with excellent morals. He’s not a first-year player, so he steps right into a leadership role. He was a member of our conference and league. He has expectations and standards.”
