Kirby Smart: Arrested UGA Freshmen Will Continue to 'Pay a Consequence'

The coach declined to say whether they will play in the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl.

Overview

  • Freshmen Dontrell Glover and Boden "Bo" Walker were charged with misdemeanor shoplifting after a Dec. 12 incident in Athens.
  • Police said Walmart loss prevention reported about $120 in unpaid items, and the players told officers they did not intend to steal and may have lost track of what was scanned.
  • Both were detained, charged, and booked into the Clarke County Jail, and they were barred from the Walmart shopping center for two years.
  • Smart called their actions poor decision-making and said they have paid and will continue to pay consequences, without specifying the penalties.
  • The arrests follow last month’s case involving Nyier Daniels, who was removed from the team after separate charges including reckless driving.
