Another alcohol incident at Georgia

Two Georgia players were jailed early Saturday morning on alcohol-related charges less than a week after an embarrassing drunken driving arrest prompted university athletic director Damon Evans to resign.

Dontavius Jackson, listed as a sophomore tailback, and sophomore split end Tavarres King were in a Chevrolet Avalanche stopped on a campus road just before 3 a.m., UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said.

Jackson, 20, was charged with driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and other motor vehicle offenses. King, 19, was charged with underaged possession of alcohol as were two other passengers inside the vehicle. A fifth person was allowed to leave without arrest.

•Leading receiver DeAndre Brown and starting linebacker Martez Smith were among three Southern Mississippi players arrested Thursday after allegedly refusing to leave when a police officer tried to disperse a large crowd at a pool party, according to the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American.
