Former Georgia safety urinates in police car (w/police report)
A former Georgia football player left a special present for the police officer who arrested him Sunday morning.
Kelin Johnson, a standout defensive back at Georgia from 2004-07, was arrested on East Campus Road at 2:11 a.m. and charged with driving under the influence and failure to maintain lane.
And, when the arresting officer inspected his car following Johnson’s arrest, he found a nice parting gift – a back seat “completely saturated with urine.”
According to the police report:
The arresting officer saw Johnson’s car repeatedly drift over the yellow line.
Johnson’s speech was slurred and his eyes were glassy, so the officer administered a field sobriety test.
Johnson told the officer he had not been drinking.
After several tests were given, Johnson was arrested.
The arresting officer did not have an alco-sensor, and Johnson repeatedly asked why he was not given a breath test.
Johnson changed his mind repeatedly about giving a breath sample.
At the arrest location, Johnson said he wanted a breath test. However, on the ride to the police station where the test could be administered, Johnson refused. In the end, no breath sample was given, and Johnson was charged under implied consent.
When the officer went back to his vehicle, he saw his back seat was wet.
“Inspection of the seat showed that it was completely saturated with urine,” the officer wrote.
There were no passengers in the officer’s back seat prior to Johnson.
Three passengers were in Johnson’s car at the time of his arrest.
No further description of them was included in the report.
Johnson, the Bulldogs’ defensive captain in 2007, is the host of “Kelin’s Keys to the Game” on georgiadogs.com, the official Web site of the University’s Athletic Association. He also has been a regular at Georgia football practices this spring, helping to instruct Georgia’s defensive backs.
While a student-athlete at Georgia, Johnson was a positive role model – he was an active member of the Boys and Girls Clubs’ mentor program, worked with Habitat for Humanity and was named to the American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team in 2007.
