7 UGA football players victims of locker room theft
Athens — Seven football players were victims of thefts at Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall, University of Georgia police confirmed Monday.
Jamel Allen, Kenarious Gates, Abry Jones, Jordan Love, Rhett McGowan, Alexander Ogletree and Shawn Williams all reported that items totaling $1,330 were stolen out of their lockers last Thursday afternoon, according to police reports. No players are expected to have been involved in the thefts.
“We haven’t ruled anything out but have no reason to suspect that,” UGA Police Lt. Eric Dellinger said.
Last Thursday afternoon the normally heavily-secured building — which requires fingerprint identification to access – was unsecured for “faculty appreciation day.” Here is a link to a UGA video report on that event.
All the items stolen were small electronic devices. The most expensive single item to go missing was the Apple iPhone 4 with red and black otter box belonging to Jones. It was valued at $500. One other iPhone and several iPods also were taken.
“It’s not uncommon for thefts to take place in secured buildings during events like this,” Dellinger said. “The lockers they were taken from weren’t locked.”
So far UGA detectives don’t have any suspects.

Ryan,
Your comment is on the money. The AJC staff is always ready to make a mountain out of the least implication of some wrongdoing or negative prospect at UGA; however, they seldom focus on the THUGS at UT, Auburn, or Georgia Tech. And what about Alabama? Could it be that the Tuscaloosa Police are always lookiing the other way rather than shadowing someone in hopes they can arrest them for some scooter operating misdemeanor as the Athens Police seem to do.

One of the many crimes that happen in Athens and on the UGA campus. I won’t take a shot, but for those who want to continue to make statments about crime near North Ave this is another incident that shows crime is all over.
Also, do they not have cameras or security in the building? After all the football program is the high profile of the university.

Can you believe this is happening right on campus? If I can find a player with a valid drivers license I am going to get a ride to the Clarke County Sheriff’s Department and see if I can get deputized. Having a mascot in law enforcement might make some of these people think twice before committing a crime.

A tough way for kids to learn that you need to lock your values up no matter where you are.
In my 5 years in grad school at GT, I had 1 experience that showed how good people can be and 1 that showed how bad. I dropped my wallet in the student center and it was turned in – full of $$ as well. On one occasion I didn’t properly lock a locker in the SAC – had my wallet stolen.
Thieves come in all guises and al llocations.

This is BAD. It looks BAD. How did this happen? My University keeps getting bad press. What kind of students do we let in on the HOPE?

The player who assaulted the instructor was not kicked off the team for that incident. He was referred to the disciplinary committee and given a soft slap on the wrist. The instructor, a graduate assistant, was “discouraged” by Adams’ underlings when she planned to press civil charges. The player did withdraw after the football season for reasons unrelated to the assault and cheating incident.

Tech’s football players have the highest SAT scores of any public university in the country.
They do indeed, and that’s just one reason why Tech fans love their team so much.
No, they can’t compete with UGA’s goons and morons on the field, but Tech players don’t end up pushing shopping carts or riding the back of garbage trucks like UGA players after Mark Richt dumps them when their eligibility is up.
That’s just one of those inconvenient truths for dawgtards.
