Trevor Etienne, the former Florida running back was the prize of Georgia’s offseason, but now he’s in legal trouble in Athens after an early Sunday morning arrest. The Athens-Clark County Police Department arrested him on charges of DUI, reckless driving, and two other misdemeanors.
He was reportedly booked into Athens-Clark County jail at 4:35 a.m. and bonded within the hour. The official charges were DUI/alcohol/less safe, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane/improper driving on road, and affixing materials that reduce the visibility of windows/windshield.
There are no other details none as of Sunday morning. Etienne could face a team-imposed suspension when Georgia opens its 2024 season against Clemson in Atlanta on August 31.
Georgia has dealt with multiple driving-related arrests over Kirby Smart’s tenure, but the last known arrest was last summer. Maybe most notably, Jalen Carter was arrested on charges of DUI as a part of nine driving-related arrests over a 13-month span for the 2022 Georgia national championship team.
Etienne was Florida’s second-leading rusher last season as a sophomore with 753 yards and eight touchdowns on 131 attempts. He was expected to be Georgia’s feature back and was the most notable incoming transfer this offseason.
