Georgia Dismisses OL Nyier Daniels After Arrest in Alleged 150-MPH Police Chase

Police say he drove with two younger siblings in the car, heightening scrutiny of Georgia's repeated driving cases.

Overview

  • Coach Kirby Smart said Monday that Daniels is no longer with the team following his Sunday arrest in Commerce, Georgia.
  • A police report alleges Daniels reached about 100 mph in a 25 mph zone and up to 150 mph on I-85 with two younger siblings in his BMW, leading to cruelty to children charges.
  • Jail logs show he was booked at 10 a.m. Sunday on a $21,000 bond and faces 10 traffic misdemeanors including reckless driving and speeding.
  • Coverage reflects discrepancies on felony counts as records and reports evolved, with some listing three felonies and others four, including differing accounts of fleeing charges.
  • His mother, Brandi Canada-Green, was also arrested and accused of impeding the pursuit; police say a UGA athletics official later brought Daniels back to surrender, and her bond was set at $11,000.
