Athens, GA (AP) - University of Georgia football coach Mark
Richt has suspended freshman safety Alec Ogletree for at least one
game following a misdemeanor theft charge.
Richt said in a statement Friday that he's disappointed and that
Ogletree will miss Saturday's game against Louisiana-Lafayette.
Police Chief Jimmy Williamson says his officers had spoken to
Ogletree and that the player planned to turn himself in Friday.
Williamson says the warrant stems from a June incident in which
a student reported a scooter helmet missing from a student athlete
academic center. Williamson says the helmet was later reported to
be in Ogletree's possession. A warrant was issued following an
investigation.
Williamson says the 6-foot-3, 215-pound safety from Newnan was
booked on a theft by taking charge and released on bond.
