DALLAS, TX. — University of Georgia’s star quarterback and player who led the team to back-to-back national championships was arrested in Texas for public intoxication.
The incident occurred just after 6 a.m. on Sunday.
Authorities say they were responding to reports of a man banging on doors in the 1600 block of Tribeca Way.
According to the Dallas police, when officers arrived, they found a man and determined he was intoxicated.
Authorities later identified him as Stetson Bennett, 25.
Bennett was arrested and taken to a city detention center. As of Sunday morning, he is still in custody.
UGA officials have yet to speak on the arrest.
Bennett played a pivotal role in leading Georgia to back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championships, against Alabama in 2022 and against TCU in 2023.
