Two Georgia Players Arrested for Reckless Driving

On Thursday morning, it was announced that two Georgia football players were arrested for reckless driving, one of which was also charged with racing, first reported by UGAsports.com. Offensive lineman Bo Hughley was involved in a single-car accident and the incident included failure to maintain lane and reckless driving. Linebacker Smael Mondon was also charged with reckless driving and racing. The two incidents were not connected and were separate.

Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, this is not the first occurrence of reckless driving over the last year. In fact, on Wednesday it was announced that running back Trevor Etienne had new developments in his incident. A recent update detailed that charges of DUI less safe and DUI under 21 were dismissed while Etienne pled no contest to a reckless driving charge, per Athens Banner-Herald's Marc Weiszer.

The incident occurred in March of this year, shortly after Etienne announced his transfer to the University of Georgia after two seasons at Georgia. After the event head coach Kirby Smart spoke of it and had this to say to media members:

"I first want to reiterate what I said about the kid last week, he's a great kid from a great family, he's done a tremendous job since he's been here. As we all know young people don't always make great decisions. He's embarrassed, he's upset, it's a teaching moment and I hope he learns from it. He will be under the in-house discipline as well as the university discipline."
