Bulldogs player Trevor Etienne  is bid for starting RB job could be at risk following DUI charge

An arrest on drunken driving and other charges could endanger Trevor Etienne’s projected role as Georgia’s new starting running back only months after his transfer from Florida.

If convicted of the DUI charge, Etienne faces a suspension of at least one game.

Athens-Clarke County police arrested Etienne early Sunday on charges of drunken driving, failure to maintain a lane or improper driving as well as affixing materials that reduce visibility through the windows or windshield, jail records show.

According to a statement released Monday by Athens-Clarke County police, an officer “observed a vehicle driving recklessly” at approximately 1:50 a.m. Sunday near the University of Georgia. Police stopped the grey sedan, driven by Etienne, 19.

Etienne was booked into the Athens-Clarke County Jail at 4:35 a.m. and released less than an hour later on bonds totaling about $1,800. It was not clear if Etienne had obtained a lawyer.
