Georgia QB arrested on underage drinking charges
A quarterback competing for the starting job at the University of
Georgia has been released on bond after his arrest in south Georgia
over the weekend on charges related to underage drinking.
A Remerton Police report says Zach Mettenberger was arrested
at a bar called Flip Flops early Sunday and charged with underage
consumption and possession of alcohol, possessing fake
identification and disorderly conduct-obstruction.
Chief Mike Terrell said Monday the circumstances are still
being investigated.
The 18-year-old Mettenberger is a redshirt freshman from
Oconee County. The university is on spring break.
An athletic department spokesman did not immediately return
a phone call seeking comment, and a phone listing for Mettenberger
couldn't be found.
