Maybe Mark Richt needs to add a driver’s ed teacher to his staff

It is sad that these kids (8 of them) have been arrested so far for various offenses before the season has started. Apparently more needs to be taught that driver’s ed, maybe so lifestyle thinking classes and one on what happens if you don’t think before you act as well….just playing football doesn’t give you a free pass to do what you want to without paying the price..

NO! The stupidest thing was driving the car without a valid driving license.

Richt needs to stop this crap that has been going on for a few years.

Suspend the kid for the season. (And the bright side is it gives him an extra year of eligibility after King leaves.)

I think it is CMR’s fault. There should be a grad assistant whose only job is to be certain all players have valid driver’s license and advise them and the coaches of who does not! Furthermore sais assistants should baby sit all plyers who are jeapordizing the team and season. Yes, this typical boneheaded move puts these players future as well as the future of the program at great risk.

My comment is that Chuck Dowdle seems to know less about sports and football in general than anyone else. He is just surface coating. We need a really insightful sidekick like an ex-player or ex-coach. For example, “the reason X is missing so many tackles might be that he is playing the position a little wider than it is designed for. Just a few inches can make a difference, in both angle of attack and susceptiblity to blocking.”

-I realize the responsibility of all this rest with Ealey,but can’t SOMEONE on staff make sure that these players have valid driver’s lic’s. and follow up with them on court dates,personal issues,etc.?? Is that against NCAA rules ?….If not,we’re really missing the boat here!!

Ealey may be back…Ealey may NOT be back. Driving @ 3am on a suspended license, then hitting a parked car and being told by witnesses to not leave because THE POLICE ARE ON THEIR WAY, then driving off anyway is a SERIES of serious lapses in judgment – of course that seems to be the “in” thing at the UGAG Athletic Dept these days.

Richt should kick him off the team (after he bails him out of jail). That’s the ONLY WAY you send a message that this kind of s#i! isn’t going to be tolerated at UGAG anymore. The fact that Ealey would even do something like cruise around at 3am on a suspended license specifically means he thought he could get away with it. There is NO FEAR of consequences for actions off the field in that program…There really needs to be.

Why is UGAG constantly trying to defend its crown of most football players arrested per year against the likes of the U of FLA Gators or the Tenn Vols? Quite frankly, it’s an embarrassment for THIS STATE that one of its 2 flagship public colleges is constantly in the news for all of the wrong reasons. The AJC knows it too and won’t even permit comments on a blog about the arrest!

Will Richt kick him off the team? No, and EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS IT…And that’s WHY this won’t be the last time this kind of thing rears its ugly head at UGAG. ESPN was plastering this story all over the airwaves this morning. How pathetic that this kind of thing is tolerated and “punished” with 1/2 game suspensions. Your program is only as strong as the one at the top making all of the decisions. And yet another FAILURE by him to take these illegal activities seriously says all that needs to be said. More will follow…

“Separately, Athens-Clarke County Municipal Court Clerk Rhonda Bolton told the AJC that the court issued a failure-to-appear warrant for Ealey on Aug. 12. Ealey was charged with speeding and tag violations on May 30, she said, and failed to appear for a scheduled court date on July 12. That failure to appear triggered a suspension of Ealey’s driver’s license, Bolton said.

Ealey’s fines in the case would have been $205 for speeding and $125 for the registration violation, Bolton said. Those fines, plus $150 in fees, are incorporated into the $480 bond he had to post to be released from jail today on the bench warrant, she said.”

1. I\n Georgia you cant be “arrested” for driving on a suspended license unless you have been served. So Unless he was served (via a cert letter or having been stopped (and let go as the law requires) once before then he was not “arrested” only served. If he was not served his charges of driving without a licence will be dismissed.
.
2. Failure to appear disappears once the fine is paid for the past speeding ticket.
.
3. that leaves only the “hit and run of a parked vehicle” which is no more serious than bumping a fence and not reporting it.
.
So in conclusion his only offense that has merit is “striking an object without reporting it” a 5oo.00 fine.

What’s wrong with you Fleming Island Dog? Are you condoning this kind of behavior because it sure sounds like it.

He was given a date and time to appear in court. He failed to show.

He was told not to drive when his license was suspended. He drove.

He was told not to leave the scene after witnesses saw him hit a parked vehicle and reported it. He left.

It concerns me that you don’t see a negative trend in behavior with this individual. If he was 3rd string right guard would you feel differently? If he was a Florida Gator would you feel differently?

A bench warrant is a variant of an arrest warrant that authorizes the immediate on-sight arrest of the individual subject to the bench warrant. Typically, judges issue bench warrants for persons deemed to be in contempt of court—possibly as a result of that person’s failure to appear at the appointed time and date for a mandated court appearance. Bench warrants are issued in either criminal or civil court proceedings.

Still not eluding police that is much more serious and involves actually having police in sight trying to stop you not just supposedly someo witness said they told him to stop. I never said kids should be held responsible just don’t blow it up bigger than it is and say “eluding police” why do you want ot make it bigger than it is? Did some big football player hurt your feelings? Maybe when you get your training wheels off you will get a license yourself. Last time yes the kid should be held responsible and yes if the police grabbed his arm or got behind him with their lights on and he kept running “eluding police” then kick him off the team. For now he bumped a car and some parking attendant says they told him to wait not eluding police suspension is fine.

Tired: When I was 25 I got my first speeding ticket ever. For some strange reason and vague rule I had to actually show up to court but was never informed, was never served, never even got a notice of any sort. I paid the ticket through the mail but my license was still suspended.
It’s called inexperience. I thought it was done and over with and never received any info to the contrary, until I got pulled over for doing 6 mph over on a side road one day. The Cop was very cool and said hey, just letting you know, need to slow it down, then ran my license, then told me my license was suspended.
It was a complete shock to me. Not that that’s what happened but why don’t we give these “kids” the benefit of the doubt until we have reason to do otherwise.
Let’s see, 8 out of 80……….you think 1 out of 10 kids in college has some sort of minor fender bender, underage drinking, stupid thing they’ve done.

Enough, Richt needs to go. It’s obvious that he either recruits low-character types or runs such a lax program that he can’t keep it under control. Or both. Even if you accept RICHT’S explanation of what happened during the infamous endzone celebration in ‘07 at the WLOCP, then that proves he doesn’t have control over the team (Richt’s story is that he only meant for the offense to excessively celebrate). Certainly, he doesn’t inspire fear from the players who took it among themselves to rush the field after the offense scored without being REAL sure what the coach wants. Fact is, they didn’t care and knew they would get by with it, and they did. And this begs the question – why does a Georgia coach need gimmicks like that to motivate his players for the freakin’ Florida game in the first place?

It’s becoming obvious that his early success was built upon the foundation of a great coaching staff (Brian Van Gorder at the forefront) a dominant, once-in-a-generation player in David Pollack, and a solid, heady quarterback like David Green (recruited by Richt’s predecessor). There hasn’t been evidence of real discipline within the program for years, and nothing that’s happened this year indicates that anything has changed even with the staff shake-up.

Richt was just what Georgia needed when he was hired in ‘01, but he’s run out his string. Time to go.

you had a bad lawyer. Notice is required PRIOR TO AN ARREST. iF AN OFFICER CALLS IN AND ITS SAYS YOU WERE NOTIFIED THE OFFICER IS REQUIRED TO PLACE THE DATE YOU WERE ON THE TICKET.

So 2 things must happen.

1. you must be notified by an officer or by cert letter.

2. The arresting officer must place the date (showing he knew you were first notified) on the ticket.

There is a statutory defense to suspensions for failure to appear and for lapsed insurance. An arresting officer must verify that you received actual notice of the suspension and put it on the citation.

43 days???????? I was arrested over a year after and NEVER got a notice. Mine got booted because the officer didnt put a date on suspension on my ticket….the judge noticed no date and asked if I was notified. I told him no. He asked the DA if he had a signature of mine on a DMV notice. The DA didnt have one. So no….43 days means nothing.

That’s a lot of arguments without the facts. As I understand it he did not drive away, he pulled back in to the parking spot that he was backing from and walked away. Pretty dumb when they just said, hey we called the man. But don’t make it out like he burned rubber and fled town in the assault vehicle.

He may very well not have known his license was suspended. He should have, but it doesn’t just start glowing to tell you. BUT Here is my question(s): 1.How is it that a UGA football player got a speeding ticket in May and that wasn’t headlines. 2. How hard is it to set up a staff member to make sure crap like paying a speeding fine happens. Didn’t they already say that was something they were monitoring?

If the DMV computers say the license is suspended, then it’s suspended. If notice has not been given to and received by Ealey, then the license can not be entered into the DMV system as “suspended”. Get it yet? Probably not…..

the computer will tell the officer it is suspended and the driver has not been notified (they are still suspended) the officer then impounds the car and lets the driver go with notice.

Georgia’s issues seem to be mostly traffic issues this year while other unnamed school are not dismissing players for more serious violations. It looks to me like Richt is handling this the proper way with punishments appropriate to transgressions. D. Jackson was booted from the team for a real hit and run involving alcholol.

Dawg Tell,
Sorry, you sounded like a plant from your post. Now, if you really were in Athens in the early ’70’s, then you know this kind of stuff goes on constantly among the 18-22 yr. old crowd there…along with bounced checks, underage drinking, and you know the rest. It is perfectly normal behavior. Richt does a great job of molding the kid’s character. Developing integrity is a very tough job, and I think the kids are worse now than in the ’70s. Some show up at school without much upbringing, and they have a lot of learning to do. Also, if you really know what is going on inside the program you know the staff has been admonishing the young men for quite some time now. They have to stay the course, obviously, but this is an integrity issue for Washaun and needs to be corrected. The rest of it doesn’t appear to be that bad from what I have read. I suspect we won’t see him on the field till SC.

He should be kicked off the team immediately! He was charged with speeding and tag/registration violations back on May 30th. At that time, CMR had to sit down with him and say, “That’s your mulligan, kid. Don’t screw up again.” So on July 12th he failed to show up at his court date, which triggered a suspension of his license. At that time, CMR had to sit down with him and say, “What are you doing Washaun? You’re seriously in danger of losing your spot on the team. No more of this stuff! You’re now on double secret probation.” So last night he gets arrested “for hit and run of a parked vehicle and driving with a suspended license.”

That’s FIVE LEGAL VIOLATIONS since May 30th! Maybe you want individuals like that playing Georgia Football, but I don’t! Even if he was the Governor’s son, he should immediately be dismissed from the team. No further explanation needed. Some get one or two passes. A few get 3 passes. NOBODY gets 5 passes. Send him home now CMR!!!!

I don’t think many of you have spent much time in Athens.

I had forgotten about this but this should let you know how over zealous Athens-Clarke county can be. The garbage man once left my trash can within a couple of feet of the road. About two weeks later I was greeted by an Athens-Clarke county police officer with a summons to show up in court or pay a fine. Since I don’t technically own the trash can I also because I was a little curious I showed up in court. The assistant district attorney actually pulled me asside and offerd me a plea bargin of $20. Amazed at the seriousness of the discussion I decided to plead not guilty and see what would happen next. She then explained that I would need to prepare for a trial in a few minutes and that she had an excellent record when it came to such cases. I started to laugh but at this point I read the summons about five more times to make sure that this was the about a trash can and not something more serious we were talking about. Nope, trash can. We ended up having a full trial where I called the police officer to the stand and questioned him on whether or not there were any witnesses that I placed the trash can there. Nope not even he had seen who put the trash can there. Prosecution called no witnesses and produced no evidence other than the officer. Verdict Guilty. $50 fine and a waste of who knows how much time and resources. The assistant DA was right, she had an excellent record in these type of cases. I later checked to make sure that this was not a misdeamonor, felony, or anything else that might go on my record. Just think about it a minute, a trash can position. Maybe I should have been suspended from work for that one.

Think about it a minute. Speeding Ticket, fender bender in parking garage, and resisting a parking attendent. Come on, are you people serious? Let the kid pay of the damage and fines and move on.

The rules apply to the police also and the rule is to take your license and impound your vehicle if you have not been physically notified your license has been suspended. That’s coming from an Athens-Clarke county judge who dismissed my case because the officer did not follow proper procedure.

Again the judge will require him to pay for the damages and pay the speeding ticket fine and that’s what any other normal citizen would have to do. None of those people will get suspended from their jobs though. Why do people keep trying to hold this kid to a higher level of punishment than they would get for the same offense?

Richt announced the decision after practice today.

“I’m extremely disappointed in Washaun’s lack of good judgment,” Richt said. “He was fully aware of his suspended license and had been instructed not to get behind the wheel. As a result, he’ll miss at least the first game and will also be subject to internal discipline.”

If the failure to appear was in another county then the Athens police probably didn’t know about it until his tag number was run.

America is a nation of laws, but not a nation of unlimited resources and manpower. If you understood how the system works then you would understand how a minor offense can fall through the cracks like this.

I’ve seen a police department so strapped for cash that they suggested they could require convicted criminals on probation to take a drug test but not actually have the lab test the samples to save money.

And you want to have an officer take time out of their day to pick up people who forget to show up for a court date for a speeding ticket. They barely have enough time to pickup the guy who skipped bail for robbery.

A suspended license does not directly lead to a failure to appear warrant. That’s up to the judge. If there is a warrant they don’t always notify you in a way that is convenient to you. You may find out when you get pulled over for something else.

If they could directly communicate with you at will they might leave you a message that said hey by the we issued a warrant for you and will probably arrest you the next time we see you. How about you just come by and pay the fine and if not we will arrest you at our earliest convient. Maybe they could just text you before hand.

Are you serious? They let you know when they arrest you. It actually works better for them that way. More serious criminals might want to make break for it after they get that text.

The bigger question would be if the warrant was issued on Aug. 12th then how come it took them until Aug. 27th to arrest him? It’s not like they didn’t know exactly where he would be every day. Hello football practice.

The answer would be because they don’t come after you for bench warrants on speeding tickets. They wait until they pull you over for something else because it’s not that serious of an offense.

The kid who did do something serious did get kicked off the team. It’s funny how the ones wanting him kicked off the team are fans of teams that will have to stop him on the field. Nothing hypocritical in that.

You know what makes you two the Doooshbags Of The Day? You guys spent nearly 5 hours arguing something when you didn’t even know the facts! “Oh, but when I was arrested the judge threw it out because I wasn’t notified.” “Yeah, me too. Every time I get arrested for driving on a suspended license, the judge throws it out because I didn’t know my license was suspended.” “He should just keep on driving because he didn’t know his license was suspended.” “Blah, blah, blah, I don’t know what I’m talking about and I don’t know when to shut up, blah, blah.”

Are you two GONE NOW, or are you just too embarrassed to come back and say YOU WERE WRONG? You posted message after message calling ME the moron. You argued for HOURS about how Ealey couldn’t have possibly known his license was suspended.

Twin Doooshbags Of The Day! You two should be forced to don a twin fart suit and smell each others farts for at least as long as you argued something you knew nothing about. (But I’m not even sure you would consider that ‘punishment’.)

And as for you saying “there are no consequences” for him driving on a suspended license. Well, WRONG AGAIN! Ealey could POSSIBLY do 5 YEARS in jail. Up to FIVE YEARS, but that’s not a consequence in your worlds is it? The LAW allows that. Look it up if in doubt.

Nevertheless the DAMAGE is done. Ealey arrested is on the front page of the AJC. It’s on ESPN. It’s on the local TV stations. Opponents will be bringing sirens and flashing police lights to UGA games this year. There ARE consequences for irresponsibility. Yet another black eye and people are lining up to say, “It’s OK. Just give him the ball and let him play.”

THAT is the real problem here. Until things change, there will be more arrests, more unruly and undisciplined behavior. Stupid is as stupid is permitted to do.

patrick says, “nor can he be charged with driving on a suspend DL”…You are truly unbelievable!! Now try to follow along if you can.

1. Ealey was charged with the speeding and tag violations on May 30, and when he failed to appear for a July 12 hearing, his driver’s license was suspended, Municipal Court Clerk Rhonda Bolton said Friday.

2. Richt was upset that Ealey drove despite knowing his license was suspended and assuring Georgia director of football operations Josh Brooks and running backs coach Bryan McClendon that he would not get behind the wheel. “He saw them face to face and knew he had a suspended license and said he wouldn’t drive,” Richt said.

3. “He was well aware. We were well aware,” Richt said. “If you have a suspended license, you can’t get behind the wheel of a car.” But Ealey was behind the wheel of a 2004 Chevrolet Impala early Friday, Williamson said. “It was foolish,” Richt said.

4. “He admitted to driving the vehicle, admitted to being involved in an accident,” Williamson said. Officers then determined that Ealey’s license was suspended, leading to a second charge, Williamson said.

HE WAS CHARGED with driving with a suspended license. Get it? He KNEW his license was suspended. Did he just wake up one day and realize that? No. He was NOTIFIED. Apparently Richt was notified and the coaches were notified and they all sat down and discussed it at length. “If you have a suspended license, you can’t get behind the wheel of a car,” Richt said.

Do you understand he was charged with driving with a suspended license? Do you understand that he KNEW he was driving with a suspended license? Do you understand he admitted to police that he was behind the wheel of the Impala?

Why is it so hard for you to accept that the DMV had 43 DAYS to notify him that his license was suspended and that he knew it was BEFORE he was charged with driving with a suspended license? How does one know their license has been suspended if they have not been notified that it has been suspended?

Come on CMR, star or no star … Ealey probably needs to sit out at least two and possibly three games to make believers of the rest of the thugs and morons on the team. I would prefer to lose to SC than to win with the low life thugs we’re trying to win with. CMR you need to find the right answers to the criminal element (yes, breaking any law makes you a criminal) on the team. If they can’t abide by the law, they don’t need to be a part of the UGA team.

I need to tell Greg McGarity that Mark needs to ease off on his disciplinary actions- giving Tavarres King a game suspension for underage possession is just not done in major college football.

That does not make the rest of us look good who try to overlook those things. Can’t say anything to Urban since he is already tight as a drum dealing with his ego-driven freshmen, and hearing about the Dream Team Mark Richt is assembling.
