No. I'm not breaking it.
I'm still hoping for a wacky mix-up.
Well...that was a stupid as hell way for me to handle it. Sorry for being a cryptic ass. That said, I was only a cryptic ass for about 45 minutes. Regardless, it only made it sound worse than it was.
I had been emailed about it with questions, it had been reported on 960am, and it was already on a message board and more importantly on the official Clarke County Jail Report web site...before I wrote anything. It just hadn't been confirmed that the person named in the report was the same as our player. Either way, lesson learned. It was a dumb way to handle it. I acted like a dumb blogger instead of a quasi-responsible guy with a well trafficked fan site.
Regardless, according to the AJC the player is Billy Humphrey. He was arrested this morning. He was pinched at 2:12 am for underage possession of alcohol and failure to "obey traffic control."
This typically comes with a 10 percent of the season suspension. That would mean that Billy could miss the UF (road), SC (home) and UT (home) games. Given Billy's earlier run in this season, the suspension could be worse.
Update: Rather than have this be a complete Billy Humphrey bash session in the comments or the article. I have it on excellent authority that Billy doesn't have class on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and he's not required to attend study halls because of his good academic standing. He's a good student, and he didn't have class on Thurs. So the whole "school night" thing is less of an issue. It probably won't change his punishment, but it may change the perception of the offense by UGA fans.
Update 2: AJC says Billy blew a .03 after getting stopped for what sounds an awful lot like jaywalking. I would blow a .03 if I walked past a liquor store on a windy day. For a kid Billy's size, it's about 1 stiff drink in 1 hour or 2 regular drinks in 2.5 hours. So he wasn't pulling an Ian Smith or anything.
