Published
Nyier Daniels — an offensive lineman with the University of Georgia football team — has been arrested and booked on a slew of charges.
The redshirt freshman was arrested Sunday after he allegedly tried to flee from police in Commerce, GA — a city about 20 miles from Athens where his university is located.
Authorities arrested him on three felony counts … two counts of second-degree cruelty to children and one count of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer.
He was also booked on series of misdemeanor charges including reckless driving and faiulre to stop at stop signs.
Fox 5 Atlanta — citing the Commerce Police Department — says officers initially stopped Nyier’s mother for running a stop sign … when Daniels allegedly sped past them at more than 100 miles per hour.
Cops reportedly gave chase … but, Daniels’ mother allegedly got in their way — and, they only arrested Nyier after officers say a UGA coach brought him back to turn himself in.
Nyier’s mother was booked for speeding, running a stop sign, obstruction, fleeing, failure to maintain lane, and reckless driving.
