Test - UGA player arrested on multiple felony charges related to firing BB gun on campus
A freshman cornerback on the University of Georgia’s football team was arrested on multiple charges early Wednesday morning after multiple reports led police to believe he broke a window by shooting it with a BB gun.
Nyland Green, 18, of Covington, was booked into the Clarke County Jail on three felony counts and two misdemeanor counts, online jail records show. His felony charges include second-degree criminal damage to property and two counts of carrying a weapon on school property. Green also faces two misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct.
Green is the second player from UGA’s top-ranked defense to be arrested in recent weeks. Linebacker Adam Anderson, a senior, turned himself in on rape charges on Nov. 10, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. At Anderson’s bond hearing a week later, a second alleged victim came forward and offered a victim-impact statement. Anderson was granted bond of $25,000 and was released the following day.
