It's been pretty widely speculated that the jail trip was a result of not having a license. That, or it being suspended. Idk, I haven't seen a police report so I can't say anything on the matter. I'm just thinking that if he simply left it at home that'd be easy to look up from the police computer.

Still, a player being arrested for these offenses seems way over the top. Give a warning for the seatbelt and a fine for the license and be done.

The twitter ewar b/w the UGA fans and Athens Clarke County Police Dept is pretty funny, but incorrectly directed (it was the UGA Campus Police who arrested Briscoe, not ACCPD.)

@UGAfootballLive We didn't arrest him, but we probably would have. It is the law of the land: you must have a license if you want to drive.

@UGAfootballLive I'm thinking that the @accpolice chief is either a Georgia Tech or Florida graduate.

@accpolice keep on arresting players for minor stuff. We won't have anyone wanting to come to UGA.

Ridiculous. Unless there is something more serious then @accpolice needs to reevaluate what constitutes arrest LINK …

Why do no SEC players seem to have a valid drivers license?

Update: It sounds like he has a valid Maryland Drivers License but failed to indicate this to the arresting officer.

quote:
Briscoe was pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt while driving on Broad Street. He provided the officer with a Georgia ID, rather than a driver’s license, and told the officer he had failed a test to get a driver’s license, according to the report, which was provided on Monday.

Briscoe is a native of Maryland who has been with the Georgia football team since last summer. A UGA spokesman said Briscoe “didn’t indicate to the officer whether or not he had a Maryland license. If he had told the officer he had a Maryland license, a computer search would have been done and found it.”

Georgia state law requires new residents to obtain a Georgia driver’s license within 30 days. However Briscoe, as a student, is not considered a resident and not required to get the Georgia driver’s license, according to the UGA spokesman.

Interestingly, he failed the Georgia drivers test the first time... I haven't taken it in so long, I wonder what kind of random crap is on there now or if it was the driving portion that he failed. Mine was a complete joke. Drive around a block and park (not even parallel.)
