Earlier this month, quarterback Stetson Bennett led the Georgia Bulldogs to their second consecutive national championship title. Earlier today, he was arrested in Dallas for public intoxication.
The 25-year-old Bennett said recently he would be training for his professional career in Fort Worth, about 30 miles west of Dallas, ahead of the NFL draft.
Police say Bennett was arrested around 6:00 this morning following reports he had been banging on doors on Tribeca Way. He was taken to the city detention center where he was held on a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication. It’s not clear whether he has been released.
So far, there’s been no comment from University of Georgia officials.
