Trouble has once again found Georgia’s defense.
Davin Bellamy, a redshirt freshman outside linebacker from Atlanta, was arrested by Athens-Clarke County Police early Saturday morning for driving under influence and speeding. He was booked in Athens-Clarke County Jail at 5:02 a.m. Saturday and released an hour and 20 minutes later on a $2,000 bond.
Bellamy issued an apology via his Twitter account Saturday morning:
It was the second arrest of a Georgia defensive player this week and the fifth in 2014. Earlier this week, defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor was arrested for aggravated assault/family violence. Taylor was dismissed from the team on Wednesday.
Taylor, defensive end James DeLoach and safety Tray Matthews were arrested in March for theft by deception. Only DeLoach remains on the team.
No other details were immediately available on Bellamy’s arrest. According to Georgia’s student-athlete conduct codes, a DUI arrest brings a two-game suspension for football players.
Bellamy is expected to contribute on defense this year. He’s currently the backup to Jordan Jenkins at the new “Jack” outside linebacker position. A former 4-star prospect out of Chamblee High School, the 6-foot-5 Bellamy is listed at 235 pounds but has been one of Georgia’s primary beneficiaries of the strength and conditioning program.
