ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt was arrested Tuesday on a charge of criminal trespass/damage to property/family violence, according to a police report from the University of Georgia Police Department. 

According to the report, officers were called to McWhorter Hall on campus around 3:12 p.m. in response to a female and a male fighting. Officers spotted people matching the description of those who were fighting, walking outside. One of those identified was Wyatt, according to the police report.

Officers later stopped Wyatt as he was walking through the dormitory’s lobby. 

Police said the female left Wyatt’s room in Vandiver Hall and went back to her room inside of McWhorter Hall. Authorities then reported, Wyatt kicked in the female’s door “multiple times from the hallway, damaging the door and forcing it open.”

A warrant for Wyatt’s arrest was issued at 4:40 p.m. on Monday, and the Athens-Clarke County booking reported indicates it was served at 11:35 p.m. on Tuesday.

Georgia football coach Kirby Smart issued the following statement Wednesday morning in regards to Wyatt’s arrest:

“I’m disappointed in the misconduct that is outlined in the incident report,” Smart said. ” This is not indicative of the behavior we expect from our student-athletes who represent the University of Georgia and our football program. We will address it internally in the appropriate way.”

The football team will soon begin to prepare for the annual G-Day spring scrimmage, scheduled for April 18. 

The Bulldogs kickoff the regular season in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on September 7 against the Virginia Cavaliers. 
 

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — A former NFL player and University of Georgia football standout has been arrested and charged with raping a UGA student, authorities said.

Bacarri Jamon Rambo, 29, was charged Monday with rape, new outlets reported. He was being held at the Athens-Clarke County Jail without bond Tuesday afternoon.

Athens-Clarke County Police responded to a reported rape Saturday near the university at an apartment complex where Rambo reportedly lives.

The 21-year-old student told police she was attacked and knew the man who raped her, showing them an Instagram profile with Rambo’s name on it. Further details weren’t immediately released.

Rambo has been a graduate assistant coach with the UGA football program for the past two seasons.

His attorney, Kim Stephens, said the arrest stems from an incident between Rambo and his accuser Friday night at the apartment complex, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Stephens said the woman told police she “didn’t consent to intercourse to some degree” but Rambo said she did.

“He cooperated with police when they came out,” Stephens said. “It’s been a fast turnaround. They didn’t wait for any scientific evidence to come back or anything before they took warrants.”

Rambo was an All-American safety at Georgia and holds a tied program record 16 interceptions during his tenure. He was drafted by the Washington Redskins in 2013 and has also played with the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills. He ended his career in 2017.
