UGA freshman defensive end Chauncey Rivers was arrested for possession of marijuana.
According to an Athens-Clarke County jail booking report, Rivers was arrested at 1:12 a.m. Saturday morning for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana, which is a misdemeanor. His bond has been set at $1,000. As of 2:40 a.m., Rivers was listed as “currently incarcerated,” according to jail records.
Rivers was arrested on Nov. 4 for misdemeanor possession of marijuana after admitting to smoking in a UGA campus parking lot with teammate Natrez Patrick. The two Bulldogs were suspended for the Kentucky game on Nov. 7.
Since that’s Rivers’ second offense – in less than two months! – he should be gone for a while.
According to the UGA student-athlete handbook, Rivers is subjected to a suspension of “no less than 30 percent of the total sport season.”
That would be four games, if you’re counting. That’s not the way things worked in Tuscaloosa.
