Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter was booked and released by police late Wednesday night amid misdemeanor charges related to a January crash that killed two members of the Bulldogs’ football program.
Carter’s booking comes on the same day the Athens-Clarke County Police Department issued an arrest warrant for the potential No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL draft. Police say Carter and Georgia staffer Chandler LeCroy, one of the crash’s victims, were racing their respective vehicles before the fatal early-morning incident that also killed Bulldogs offensive lineman Devin Willock and injured two others.
According to Athens-Clarke County records, Carter was booked at 11:33 p.m. for reckless driving and racing. He posted $4,000 bail and was released at 11:49 p.m.
