ATLANTA (AP) -Georgia freshman Demetre Baker has been kicked off the team following his DUI arrest.
Coach Mark Richt said Sunday that Baker had been dismissed.
Baker was arrested early Sunday in Athens and charged with DUI, underage possession of alcohol and improper driving. He is the 10th Georgia player to be arrested this year.
When asked if Baker’s dismissal means Georgia has a new zero-tolerance policy on arrests, Richt said his players understand they “need to behave, I’ll put it that way.”
The 19-year-old Baker is a linebacker who has not played this season and did not travel with the team for Saturday night’s 24-12 loss at Mississippi State.
