Hebron may be suspended after second alcohol violation
Freshmen football player Akeem Hebron will not be between the hedges or in the classroom in the fall, following his second violation of the University’s alcohol policy on Thursday night.
Hebron, a redshirt linebacker from Gaithersburg, Md., was arrested for underage possession of alcohol by the Athens-Clarke County police at 11:58 p.m. Thursday outside the Village Idiot bar on Clayton Street.
According to the police report, Wyatt McBrayer, a Village Idiot employee, notified police after Hebron was denied entry to the bar.
McBrayer told police that Hebron had “made a gun with his hand and threatened him.”
When the officer approached Hebron, the officer smelled alcohol and put Hebron in handcuffs. Following the arrest, Hebron was booked into the ACC Jail at 12:30 a.m
Friday and released at 1:18 a.m. after posting a $500 bond.
This was Hebron’s second arrest for the same charge this year. On Feb. 25, Hebron was arrested outside of the Butts-Mehre building.
After his first arrest, Hebron was placed on probation lasting until May 5, 2008 by the University’s alcohol and drug policy.
The University’s policy states a second offense while on probation will result in “suspension from the institution for the remainder of current semester and one subsequent semester (Fall and Spring only).”
After his first incident, Hebron signed an informal agreement with the Office of Judicial Programs on March 27 in which he agreed to the guidelines of probation. The agreement includes a clause which states any violation on probation “will result in suspension from the University of Georgia.”
Hebron signed the document with Brandon Frye, the assistant dean of students.
