Another Georgia football player has been arrested on reckless driving charges, as wide receiver Nitro Tuggle was arrested on Thursday morning according to the Athens Clarke County jail log.
Tuggle was arrested on misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and speeding — maximum limit. Tuggle was booked at 1:56 a.m. ET and released on $26 bond at 2:55 a.m. ET.
Tugge is a sophomore from Goshen, Ind., and appeared in 8 games last season for Georgia. He caught 3 passes for 34 yards for the Bulldogs. Tuggle is expected to be a bigger part of the wide receiver room at Georgia.
The arrest of Tuggle is the latest to be of the driving variety. He is the first arrest this offseason, but a year ago saw multiple Bulldogs arrested for various speeding-related arrests.
Georgia has not yet commented on the arrest of Tuggle. As far as a possible suspension, Daniel Harris did not play against Kentucky following his reckless driving arrest last fall, but Smael Mondon did play in the season-opener against Clemson following an offseason racing arrest. Running back Trevor Etienne missed the season-opener against Clemson but he had been arrested on DUI charges.
Georgia dismissed safety David Daniel-Sisavanh from the team last July.
“Everybody wants to know what game and are they suspended,” Smart said at last year’s SEC Mmdia days. “That’s probably not the most important thing in terms of the discipline and culture they’ve got to experience. As far as I know, there’s not one team that has ever suspended a player for a traffic violation. That’s what Marcus Rosemy got suspended for. I don’t know that anybody has kicked anybody off the team for that, and we have that. We’re going to continue to be proactive. It’s repeated behaviors that will get you dismissed.”
The Bulldogs are set to practice on Thursday, having their fifth of the spring.
