The offensive linebacker for University of Georgia, Nyier Daniels is facing the law over accusations of cruelty to children.
Nyier Daniels has been arrested and charged for cruelty to children. These are not minor accusations. They are serious, alarming, and have sent shockwaves through the college football community.
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.
“We are aware of the charges and are currently in the process of gathering additional information,” UGA spokesperson Steven Drummond said in a statement. “This is a pending legal matter, and we will not have further comment at this time.”
The law has caught up with Nyier Daniels and it doesn’t look good.
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.
Lesson here, once you break the law, never run, just turn yourself in and let the necessary processes work. We wish Nyier Daniels the best of luck.
