With all the off season distractions, this week has added a few more for the Georgia Dawgs. Washaun Ealey has been suspended for todays game after being arrested early last friday for a hit-and-run of a parked vehicle and driving with a suspended license. Freshman safety Alec Ogletree has also been suspended for today’s game after being arrested on Friday and charged with “theft by taking” involving a scooter helmet.

A.J. Green will miss today’s game as well because of a continuing NCAA investigation.

Yesterday the NCAA informed Georgia that they would be coming to Athens to interview football player(s) in connection to the ongoing investigation of the South Beach Party!

The rumors of star wide receiver AJ Green attending the party are not true. Green has told Coach Richt, the NCAA and anyone who asks him that he has never been to Miami. However at Media Days he just gave a “no comment” when asked if he had ever been to Miami.

This morning at Media Days Charles Bloom, head of public relations for the SEC, told reporters that the NCAA had asked that no one from Georgia discuss the inquiry until it is complete.

Following their arrests Saturday morning, Mark Richt has suspended Dontavius Jackson and Tavarres King indefinitely from all team activities.

Along with the suspension, Jackson will serve a minimum 6 game suspension and King will serve a minimum 1 game suspension. According to Coach Richt, information is still being gathered which could lead to additional penalties.

“I’m disappointed in their decision-making and lack of judgment and they will both pay a stiff price. All our players need to understand that it’s a privilege to be a Bulldog and their conduct needs to reflect the standards we expect,” Richt said.

RedandBlack.com is reporting that  Dontavius Deshawn Jackson, a backup running back, was arrested this morning. The charges include driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and underage possession of alcohol. Tavarres King, starting wide receiver, was arrested with Jackson and charged with underage possession of alcohol.

RedandBlack.com is reporting that  Dontavius Deshawn Jackson, a backup running back, was arrested this morning. The charges include driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and underage possession of alcohol. Tavarres King, starting wide receiver, was arrested with Jackson and charged with underage possession of alcohol.

This marks the third arrest for a Georgia football player in a week, as cornerback Jordan Love was arrested earlier this week and charged with obstruction of a police officer.

This arrest also comes in the same week that Georgia Athletic Director Damon Evans resigned after his DUI arrest on June 3rd.

According to redandblack.com, University Athletic Association rules state that students-athletes found in violation of the alcohol policy are suspended for 10 percent of the games for the season. That means Jackson and King would sit out the season opener against Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 4.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution gives the details from UGA police chief Jimmy Williamson.

Williamson said two patrol cars were making an unrelated traffic stop when another vehicle passed without moving over. As the second patrol car began pursuit of that vehicle for violating the move-over law, a third officer put out a radio report of an incident moments earlier in which a vehicle had left the scene of a minor accident.

The vehicle that allegedly left the scene of that accident matched the description of the one being pursued for the move-over violation, Williamson told the AJC.

When the vehicle was pulled over, Jackson was driving, with King and three other passengers on board, Williamson said. In addition to King, two other passengers -– not UGA athletes –- were charged with underage possession of alcohol.

Williamson said there were no injuries in the accident that started the series of events. He said he would describe the accident as minor. The following-too-closely charge against Jackson stemmed from that accident, Williamson said.

According to the Georgia State Patrol when Evans was jailed, Fuhrmann was also taken into custody for disorderly conduct.

This evening Evans held a press conference to address the situation:

“I let this university down, I let my family down, I let those in the Bulldog Nation down,” Evans said at a news conference in Athens. “My behavior, my actions, were not indicative of what we teach our student-athletes at the University of Georgia.”

Evans also added that he would “do everything in my power to make you believe in me again” and that his desire is to keep his job.
