GEORGIA LINEMAN TURNED UP WHEN ARRESTED AFTER A HIGH-SPEED POLICE FOLLOW
Walker and Glover were arrested less than a month after Georgia offensive lineman Nyier Daniels was kicked off the team after being linked to multiple charges following his arrest in connection with a high-speed police chase.
He was arrested last month and booked into the Jackson County Jail; where he was charged with three felonies and 10 misdemeanor charges, including fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer.
Other charges against Daniels include two counts of cruelty to children because his two younger siblings were in his vehicle at the time, authorities said. Misdemeanor charges included reckless driving and speeding.
