Jonathan Ledbetter arrested on DUI, underage possession charges
Georgia defensive lineman Jonathan Ledbetter has found himself in trouble again.
Early Sunday morning, Ledbetter was arrested by Athens-Clarke County Police for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and underage possession of alcohol, according to jail logs. Ledbetter was booked at 6:05 a.m. and released on bail at 10:24 a.m.
Ledbetter’s bail totaled $2,000, with $1,500 of it on the DUI charge and $500 on the underage possession charge.
This is Ledbetter’s second alcohol-related arrest. In March, Ledbetter was arrested for underage possession of alcohol and possessing a false identification, although those charges were thrown out.
Ledbetter, 18, was originally given a one-game suspension, although head coach Kirby Smart seemed to change his tune once the charges from the first arrest were thrown out, stating, “We’ll find out the first game” when asked. As a result, it’s unknown if this arrest will be considered a first- or second-time offense.
As a freshman, Ledbetter totaled seven tackles in 2015. He’s expected to be a significant contributor up front on the defensive line this season.
