ATHENS, Ga. — University of Georgia linebackers Chris Cole and Darren Ikinnagbon were arrested by Athens-Clarke County Police on Wednesday night on misdemeanor charges of speeding and reckless driving.
According to jail records, Cole was booked at 9:59 p.m. and released on $26 bail at 10:39 p.m. Ikinnagbon, also charged with following too closely, was booked at 10:27 p.m. and released on $39 bail at 11:08 p.m.
Georgia told The Associated Press on Thursday the school is aware of the charges and gathering information.
“As this is an ongoing legal matter, we will not be providing further comment at this time,” the school’s statement reads.
Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart addressed his frustration last season in trying to put an end to driving offenses by players. Georgia had three players leave the program after arrests on driving offenses last season.
