Georgia All-SEC linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson was arrested Wednesday on misdemeanor charges of racing and reckless driving, according to a Clarke County online booking report.
Dumas-Johnson was released from jail roughly 40 minutes after his arrest Wednesday night.
The incident occurred Jan. 10, one day after the Bulldogs routed TCU to win the CFP national championship, according to the University of Georgia online police log, which states two cars were driving in a “reckless manner at high speeds that fled the area upon sign of the officer.”
“We are aware of a report relating to a January 10 incident on College Station Road involving one of our student-athletes,” Georgia said in a statement Wednesday night. “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.”
Dumas-Johnson was a finalist for the Butkus Award in 2022, his sophomore season, as the top linebacker in the country. He finished second on the team with 70 tackles last season, leading the Bulldogs in tackles for loss with nine.
He was credited with four tackles in the title game against TCU.
