A Southeast Whitfield football running back has been arrested after allegedly kidnapping a female student and assaulting her.

Police say 17-year-old Jacquez Devin Fields was being held Thursday in the Whitfield County Jail. In Georgia, anyone 17 years old is considered an adult in the criminal court system.

“We were made aware of the incident by the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office. We do not have any further details and the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation,” Southeast Whitfield principal Denise Pendley said in a statement Thursday.
