Further details emerge from Georgia RB Trevor Etienne's Sunday morning DUI arrest
On Sunday morning, Georgia Bulldogs running back Trevor Etienne was arrested and charged with a DUI. Now, further details have emerged regarding that arrest.
In total, Etienne was charged with four traffic-related misdemeanors. That includes charges for DUI (less safe), reckless driving, failure to maintain lane, and affixing materials that reduce visibility of his windows and windshield. Now, DawgsHQ has obtained the incident report from the Athens-Clarke County Police, revealing further details.
On early Sunday morning, the arresting officer observed Etienne’s vehicle come to a sudden stop at South Milledge Avenue and Macon Highway. The stop was so sudden, in fact, the tires screeched. Following that, Etienne was observed passing two cars, one of which was on a blind curve, at what is described as a high rate of speed. The officer also noted that there was very little light on this stretch of road.
At that point, the officer says they put their lights on and began to pursue Etienne and, according to the officer, was not able to catch up to him while going 80 to 90 mph.
Etienne reportedly didn’t stop until he reached the gate of a community. That’s when the officer spoke to Etienne, who said he was just trying to get home and admitted he had been drinking. However, he only said that he had drunk three beers “way earlier.”

He also did not consent to a field sobriety test and told the officer he would push the car home if he needed to. During this time, the officer says Etienne swayed from side to side while he spoke. His speech was also reportedly slurred while his eyes were said to be glossed over. All of that is what led to the officer making the decision to arrest Etienne.
When tested, Etienne’s window tint also exceeded the four percent limit. That was found with equipment that another officer brought to the scene after initial contact with Etienne was made.
Trevor Etienne was booked at the ACC jail at 4:23. He later posted his bond, set at $1,883. That bond was posted about an hour after he was initially booked at the ACC jail.
Trevor Etienne is a native of Louisiana and the brother of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, who played his college football for the Clemson Tigers. Prior to transferring to Georgia, Trevor Etienne was a star for the Florida Gators, where he played for two seasons.
