Georgia’s wide receiver was driving 107 MPH when arrested earlier this month
When Georgia wide receiver Nitro Tuggle was stopped and arrested earlier this month, it was because he was driving 107 miles per hour.
According to police report, the sophomore wide receiver from Goshen, Indiana, was clocked driving 42 mph over the speed limit on the Georgia State Route 10 Loop outside Athens. He was driving a 2021 Dodge Charger and his girlfriend was in the car.
The arrest report indicated there were other motorists on the highway and that Tuggle stopped his vehicle in the right lane, rather than the shoulder, when police pulled him over.
The report was interesting,
“I instructed Tuggle to exit the vehicle, at which point he nearly exited without placing the vehicle in park,” the report said. “Due to his reckless disregard for the safety of others — including himself, his passenger, other motorists, and myself — by operating the vehicle at a speed 42 mph over the limit and exceeding triple-digit speeds, I placed him under arrest.”
Coach Kirby Smart suspended Tuggle after the arrest. This continues to be a problem at Georgia, and remember it was just two years ago when a Georgia Staffer and a football player who were killed in a driving incident.
I hope the Bulldogs can find a way to get this under control soon.
