Georgia football coach Kirby Smart released a brief statement Wednesday after police issued an arrest warrant for former Bulldogs defensive lineman Jalen Carter on charges connected to a fatal January crash that killed two members of the program.
Carter faces charges of reckless driving and racing, the Athens-Clarke County Police Department announced Wednesday. Both charges are misdemeanors, the police department told Sports Illustrated.
“The charges announced today are deeply concerning, especially as we are still struggling to cope with the devastating loss of two beloved members of our community,” Smart said in the statement. “We will continue to cooperate fully with the authorities while supporting these families and assessing what we can learn from this horrible tragedy.”
