re: Another UGA player arrested

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

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.)
