Police: Physical altercation with girlfriend led to arrest of Georgia’s Rara Thomas

ATHENS, Ga. — The events that preceded the felony arrest of Georgia football player Rara Thomas in the early morning hours of Monday started with an argument with his longtime girlfriend in UGA’s McWhorter Hall dormitory.

That’s according to the field case report provided by UGA Police on Tuesday. Thomas, a rising junior wide receiver from Eufaula, Ala., was charged with false imprisonment, a felony, and battery/domestic violence, a misdemeanor.

According to the arresting officer, police were called to the dorm at 11:58 p.m. Sunday by a UGA employee, who told them that a loud argument in Room 422 had spilled out in the hallway and that the residents had gone back in and were still arguing.
