Georgia running back Trevor Etienne had his case on DUI and reckless driving resolved on Wednesday following an arrest earlier this year.
Charges of DUI less safe and DUI under 21 were dismissed in a hearing. He pled no contest to a reckless driving charge and guilty to underage possession of alcohol, failure to maintain lane and a window tint violation.
Etienne received 12 months of probation. He was also fined $852 and a $45 per month supervision fee. He has to complete a substance abuse evaluation, 40 hours of community service and an alcohol risk reduction program. He is also subject to random drug and alcohol screenings.
Etienne was arrested and jailed overnight by Athens-Clarke County police on March 24. The Bulldogs’ projected starting running back, a midyear transfer from Florida, was released on bonds totaling $1,838.
UGA Athletic Association policy dictates that student-athletes convicted of DUI serve a suspension of at least one game. In Etienne’s case, that would be Georgia’s season-opening contest against Clemson on Aug. 31 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
