A UGA basketball player was arrested on Wednesday after he was caught speeding in Oconee County.

An Oconee County deputy said he saw a gray Tesla SUV driving along SR 316. He used his radar gun and clocked the vehicle driving 87 mph in a 65-mph zone.

The deputy pulled the car over, and when he questioned the driver, Kareem Stagg, 18, told the deputy he did not have his license on him and that a paper copy of his license was mailed to him.

He then gave the deputy a driver’s course certificate. The deputy ran the number on the certificate and showed Stagg only has a learner’s permit. When the deputy confronted Stagg about it, he said he “was aware he had a permit and needed a licensed driver over 21 with him.”That’s when the deputy told Stagg to get out of the car and arrested him.
