So, we are all fairly familiar that a new Georgia transfer, expected to be a contributor to the defensive secondary, ran afoul of the law down in Glynn County in May. It seemed our long season of off season issues were about to begin. Well, we’ve now had two issues with Dawgs dismissed.
“The defendant is a 19-year old university student with no criminal record and who volunteered with ‘Where Colors Shine,’ a program to help children with cancer,” according to the state’s motion on July 2 that was signed by assistant district attorney James Abely. “On May 8, 2026, the defendant was the driver of a vehicle; there was a vape device in the rear seat area of the vehicle—outside of the defendant’s reach. The vape liquid may have contained THC. The State is unable to determine the THC level, if any of the liquid. Additionally, the GBI lab is not currently measuring the THC levels of such liquids.
Riddle had told police there was no marijuana in the vehicle but later explained that there was, the police report said.
A July 1 warrant for dismissal listed all three charges against Riddle, including the speeding charge, as now being dismissed.
Odd, he admitted to it, but seemingly his good character contributed to the dropped charges, similar to Zachariah Branch’s background helping in his case.
Or maybe the NIL war chest is making its way around to legal offices near you.
Texas Tech says hold my beer. The DA has to be a UGA grad…..
***for the record, Glenn Co DA is not a UGA grad
“Riddle had told police there was no marijuana in the vehicle but later explained that there was”…ahh, caught in the paradox of Schrodenger’s weed.
Of course, the original Schrodinger’s weed paradox was, “I smoked it, but didn’t inhale”, bwahahahahaha!
Well, just start testing the guys on a random basis in season and out. If a person hasn’t got the message that this crap will affect your ability to “make it to the league” then they are going to find out the hard way.
