"Wrong Way" King..

UGA's King arrested on traffic violations
Star running back recruit released on bond
By David Ching, - dching@ledger-enquirer.com --

University of Georgia police arrested superstar running back recruit Caleb King late Monday night on a pair of misdemeanor traffic violations.

A UGA PD officer pulled King over and arrested him for driving with a suspended license and driving the wrong way on a one-way street in Athens.

The 19-year-old was booked into Clarke County Jail at 11:39 p.m. and released at 12:16 a.m. Tuesday on $2,000 bond – $1,500 for the suspended license charge and $500 for the one-way street violation.

A highly sought-after recruit from Parkview and later Greater Atlanta Christian in Norcross, Ga., King was the centerpiece in the Bulldogs’ most recent signing class. He rushed for 939 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior before breaking his leg midway through the year.

King is expected to challenge for playing time in a crowded Georgia backfield this fall. Although seniors Kregg Lumpkin and Thomas Brown return and talented redshirt freshman Knowshon Moreno enters the fray this season, King is talented enough that Rivals.com rated him as the nation’s top running back recruit at one point before he broke his leg.

The Ledger-Enquirer will update this story when further details become available later today.

This really disappoints me.

I was hoping he kicked a kid's ass, too.

[Williams-Brice]

I can't tell you how many times I've almost turned on one-way streets in Athens, Charleston, etc. I hate that for him. However, driving with a suspended liscence is definitely a no no.

[MillDawg007]

Haha my god it happens to every freshman though. Exploring a new place and just seeing the sights. The suspended license is kinda moronic but at least he wasnt drinking.

Dogs DL Taylor implicated in brawl
Charged with taking part in fight at Lake Allatoona

For almost two long months, Charles Rogers says he's had to grit his teeth and wait for authorities to file charges against a University of Georgia football player who, along with several other college kids, allegedly stripped him of his clothes, beat him and then urinated on him during a Memorial Day weekend attack at Lake Allatoona.

On Monday, Cherokee County sheriff's deputies charged Paul "Tripp" Taylor, 20, of Woodstock for his role in the May 25 fight. In the same fight, a group of men allegedly hit Rogers' friend in the face with a baseball bat.


Taylor, a walk-on, is currently listed as a second string defensive lineman on the UGA roster.

A second football player, Shane McCleskey, a wide receiver last season for Kentucky's Murray State University, has also been charged. McCleskey, 19, from Woodstock.

McCleskey, authorities say, is thought to have caused the major injuries to the victims.

Taylor allegedly made verbal threats. He has been charged with misdemeanor simple assault. His lawyer has set up a meeting with the Cherokee County District Attorney today before bringing him in, Sheriff's Sgt. Jay Baker said.

"I was kind of mad," said Rogers, 17, also of Woodstock. "I knew who they were; they live just across town. But we waited because the detectives told us they wanted to go about it the right way."

As many as 25 people had been camping at the lake site off Wooten Drive when the attack occurred about 11:30 p.m. Alcohol may have contributed; a large number of beer cans were found at the scene, Baker said.

According to authorities and Rogers, he and another friend from Etowah High School were celebrating the end of the school year at the campground when two men approached them. Rogers is a rising senior.

The friend — a 16-year-old who is not being identified bcause he is a juvenile —was cutting a piece of wood with a pocket knife when one of the men asked what he was doing. The teen told him it wasn't any of his business, prompting the man to take the knife from him and press it to his throat, authorities said.

When Rogers told the men to leave his friend alone, they punched him in the face. The two teens were able to pull themselves away and were walking to their car, when a group of eight men confronted them.

The 16-year-old was hit in the face with a baseball bat and kicked and punched, authorities said.

Rogers tried to run into some nearby woods. Several men dragged him out, stripped him of his shorts, and severely beat him before urinating on him.

"I thought it would never stop," Rogers said Monday.

The men finally let him go but with a warning: "Keep your mouth shut, or else," Rogers recounted.

Rogers' left eye was swollen shut. The 16-year-old suffered an orbital fracture.

Georgia coach Mark Richt had no comment on the incident Monday. Sheriff's officials said no other Georgia player was involved.

I need to make an apology for this. It was in poor taste.

No problem Bry. Kids make mistakes (luckily Caleb's looks minor).

As someone mentioned, Athens streets (like many towns) can be confusing. I lived there a while back. First night there, I went to visit a buddy who lived over near Southside. He was directing me back to my duplex out by Cedar Schools high school. He told me to take E. Campus to College Station, etc. I was looking at the sign on the left and it's Southview and College Station on the right. Missed it and wandered around lost for 30 minutes or so. It's funny looking back, but a pisser at the time.

Good luck with the season.

WDE!

My apology was actually regarding my reference to Tripp Taylor's assault charge. Caleb's "arrest" is kind of a joke, but Tripp's is not comical at all. If he and that other player did all those things to those kids, Taylor should be kicked off the team. JMO
