Georgia Bulldogs’ offensive lineman Nyier Daniels finds himself embroiled in serious legal trouble, following his recent arrest. The redshirt freshman is currently facing multiple charges, including three felonies, stemming from an incident that culminated in a high-speed chase ending in Commerce, Georgia, not far from the university’s Athens campus.
Daniels’ charges are severe, encompassing two counts of second-degree cruelty to children and one count of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer. Additionally, he is being held accountable for several misdemeanors, including reckless driving and ignoring stop signs.
The sequence of events began when law enforcement officers pursued Daniels after he allegedly sped through a stop sign at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. During the pursuit, it was reported that his mother attempted to hinder the officers’ efforts. Ultimately, Daniels evaded immediate arrest but later turned himself in, accompanied by a Georgia coach who facilitated his surrender to the police.
The lineman also faces more minor charges, such as driving through stop signs and reckless driving.
