BREAKING NEWS;’ Following a new fresh investigation, Georgia RB received a 10-year prison sentence….
Despite not having played a down for the Georgia Bulldogs yet, Trevor Etienne has already run into some issues off the field. Etienne, who played for the Florida Gators the previous two seasons and finished with 753 running yards and eight rushing touchdowns for them last year, is the younger brother of current Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne, a former Clemson Tiger. This offseason, Etienne transferred to Georgia. However, he was taken into custody early on Sunday morning on four misdemeanor counts, one of which was driving while intoxicated:
According to the jail website, Etienne was charged with four misdemeanors: “DUI/alcohol/less safe, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane/improper driving on road, and affixing materials that reduce visibility of windows/windshield.” Emerson details these charges in that post at The Athletic. More from that article is as follows:
Emerson also mentioned that the Georgia football team received a lot of backlash for speeding and other traffic-related accidents during the previous season. This was especially significant in the crash that occurred in January of last year, which claimed the lives of offensive lineman Devin Willock and driver Chandler LeCroy (who was allegedly intoxicated to more than twice the legal limit in Georgia). The incident involved an alleged racing incident involving defensive lineman Jalen Carter, which resulted in a wrongful-death lawsuit from Willock’s father and Carter’s plea of not guilty to several charges.
Nevertheless, there were numerous other car accidents involving the Bulldogs program in 2018. Defensive lineman Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins was charged in July, marking “at least the 14th time a Georgia player has been charged with speeding or racing/reckless driving since the Jan. 15 fatal crash”; this occurred just after head coach Kirby Smart had alluded to the frequent driving incidents as a “problem.” Etienne’s case is the first of the year, but because of this program’s history, it is receiving more attention. Furthermore, it’s not a fantastic manner for him to begin his Bulldogs career.
