What is it with college foosball players and BB guns?
ATHENS — Georgia freshman football players Julian Rochester and Chad Clay spent about 12 hours in a Clarke County jail Tuesday, each accused of two felonies, on charges related to shooting and possessing a BB gun in their residence hall on the Georgia campus.
“I’m disappointed with the poor judgment of Julian and Chad,†Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said in a statement. “They will be disciplined in an appropriate manner.â€
Julian Rochester, a defensive lineman from Powder Springs, was an AJC Super 11 selection in 2016.
According to players' attorney, Kim Stephens, they were apparently firing at plastic cups in their dorm room with a BB gun, which left marks on the door and in other areas of the room.
The incident dates back to Thursday, April 7, when the damage was first reported by a university employee.
Witness statements were taken from four people, and a search warrant was sought to search the common areas of the room belonging to Clay and Rochester for any handguns, BB guns, or ammunition or projectiles related to handguns. The warrant was granted, and further investigation of the room found: A total of 12 BB “indentions†on the refrigerator and freezer; several more indentions in the drywall behind the refrigerator; a “great deal†of broken glass on top of the refrigerator; “several†BB indentions on the fronts of six wooden cabinets in the kitchen.
