RS7 and refused to submit to the field test. Police said he had slurred speech, glazed eyes and rocked back and forth while standing on level ground. When the arresting officer asked Etienne for his identification, he gave him his car keys.
As we know, sometimes guys. don’t take best decisions,” Smart said. “The older you get, the more severe the consequences of your mistakes. So he doesn’t let that mistake define him. He is embarrassed. He is upset. He knows he made a mistake.
It’s a learning moment and we hope he recovers from it.”According to athletic department policy, Etienne will miss 10% of Georgia’s season — the equivalent of at least one game in the Bulldogs’ 12-game schedule — if found guilty .of DUI.
