ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY, Ga. — A University of Georgia football player was arrested Wednesday afternoon in connection to reckless driving.

Linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson was arrested for reckless driving and racing on highways and streets.

According to the UGA Athletics Association, the arrest was in connection to an incident on January 10 in Athens.

The UGA Athletics Association released the following statement on Wednesday:

“We are aware of a report relating to a January 10 incident on College Station Road involving one of our student-athletes. The alleged conduct does not reflect our program’s values or the high standards we have established. As this is an open matter involving a student, we are not able to provide any additional information at this time and will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement.”
