Redshirt freshman linebacker Akeem Hebron, 18, has been arrested again for underage possession of alcohol. It appears as though he was arrested by Athens-Clarke County police at 12:30 a.m. and released at 1:18 a.m. on $500 bond.
He has already been suspended for the first two games of the 2007 season after a February arrest for underage possession from an incident at the Butts-Mehre athletics building. Here's what Mark Richt said after the first incident:
"We regard this as a serious matter. There are team rules as well as civil laws that have to be adhered to. Akeem will have to pay a price and hopefully he has learned a lesson that will serve him not only during his college career but also for the rest of his life.”
As it's the middle of the night, I don't have any details on the arrest, so it's hard to tell what will happen. However, offensive lineman Ian Smith was arrested twice in a year's time on underage alcohol offenses and was given a six-game suspension after the most recent arrest.

I beleive the school has new alcohol policies that might require his suspension from school for a semester. I don't know if summer semester counts the same as fall.
What gives with this football team, all of a sudden ? Do we think that everything will just be handed to us on a silver platter any more, or what ?
Guys that could be out there starting, getting publicity like they think they are Michael Vick - and, can get away with it like he does.
For a football team that was not ranked by one single solitary poll at for all of last season except for the Final AP Poll, having lost to intramural Vandie and Kentucky for the 1st time in 4 decades.
And, just when this defense lost all its great players from last season - except for Paul Oliver.
I will not put up with another Summer of this bad publicity and at positions that are so absolutely crucial to our having any semblance of success on Defense this up-coming season.
Here we are supposed to be thinking about : (1) how are players at his position might be given a shot to make some NFL roster, and (2) how he and the other younger linebackers might be on the field instead of a senior who came here with such promise and has produced not a damn thing.
And, instead, this underage town drunk - says "Nah, let's talk about me."
This team has some serious problems in leadership.
This kid will not make it in Athens but the team does not have a problem. Hebron is just stupid. I could see this coming a mile away when they started with this alcohol crackdown.
We have no linebackers committed yet for next season, have one returning senior linebacker who has never done a thing here, have no defense except for Paul Oliver - and we don't have problems ?
Oh, yes we do. Our Offense was Number 90 in the nation. Our Defense is nonexistent. We we can't punt.
And, we spend the off-season reading about a guy who once arrested, is yet again for the same thing.
Is there something about this that sounds to you like we are not in trouble ?
SEC dominates 1st Day NFL Draft.
LSU has its 2nd (Billy Cannon 1960 Rams) 1st Pick of the NFL Draft with JaMarcus Russell leading the way for The SEC taken by the Oakland Raiders as their starting quarterback for next season.
As predicted here by me, Notre Dame’s Brady Quinn who did diddle-e-squat except against cupcakes, was not selected until Pick Number 22, sitting over there complaining and whining.
The SEC has now 15 First Overall Picks in the Draft for Pro Football, including three (3) from Georgia – which no SEC program has more than.
The 11 First Round Selections this season from The SEC is the most of any conference.
The Big Ten (11) only had 7 First Round Selections (less than half the SEC’s).
The ACC only had 6 First Round Selections (again less than half the SEC’s).
And, the Big XII only had 4 First Round Selections (a quarter of the SEC’s.)
After the 1st Two Rounds of the NFL Draft, The SEC had 17 picks – the most by far of any conference and 4 more picks than the Big Ten (11) had had.
The Big XII and ACC each only had 7 picks, ten fewer than The SEC, after the 1st Two Rounds of the NFL Draft.
The SEC lead the way in 1st Day NFL Draft Picks with 21 through the 1st Three Rounds, including both UGA Defensive Ends Quentin Moses – also taken by Oakland – and Charles Johnson – taken by Carolina who seemingly has a much better feel for UGA Football players in the NFL than do the Falcons still.
**By the time the Falcons had made their 4th NFL Draft Pick, Number 8, Number 39, Number 44 and Number 75 – they had once again passed over one of the most dominating football players ever to go in the NFL Draft. But Carolina instead once again takes a Bulldog.**

There are two other football programs in college who have more in the NFL than do The Georgia Bulldogs. Perhaps Bobby Petrino and Arthur Blank (who continues to harbor criminal Michael Vick) think that Petrino is still playing the cupcakes Louisville plays and doesn’t need a stud such as Charles Johnson ?
Charles Johnson has the Brightest Future of any UGA player. Congratulations numnuts Bobby Petrino, Arthur Blank, and the Atlanta Falcons for once again passing – even with the 7th Pick – on Charles Johnson. Why have the Falcons done this every single year ? Do you really not know ? Or, you really do not want to be known as the Georgia Falcons ? Which is it ?
