GEORGIA LINEMAN CHECKED OUT AFTER ARREST FOLLOWING HIGH-SPEED POLICE CHASE

The arrests of Walker and Glover come less than a month after Georgia offensive lineman Nyier Daniels was kicked off the team after being linked to multiple charges following his arrest related to a high-speed police chase.

He was arrested last month and booked into the Jackson County Jail, where he was charged with three felonies, including fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, and 10 misdemeanor counts.

The other felonies against Daniels were two counts of cruelty to children because his two younger brothers were in his vehicle at the time, authorities said. The misdemeanor charges included reckless driving and speeding.
