Ole Miss Star Player Arrested Ahead Of Sugar Bowl Matchup vs. Georgia
Dante Core was arrested just days before the program’s Sugar Bowl matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs.
Hannah Kozlowski of Action News 5 in Memphis reported that he was taken into custody on Dec. 26, following a traffic stop in Alabama. Officials say the Ole Miss Rebels defensive back was pulled over after he was seen traveling more than 110 miles per hour. He also did not have a visible license plate.
It’s not often we see an opponent of Georgia get in trouble for speeding. Kirby Smart admitted his program has issues. They’ve gotten into bar fights, and some have even been charged with domestic violence and sexual assault. It was earlier this month when two Georgia players were arrested.
Offensive lineman Dontrell Glover and running back Bo Walker were taken into custody. Both were charged with misdemeanor shoplifting.
