Georgia linebacker Natrez Patrick was booked by the Athens-Clarke County police at 2:23 a.m. on Wednesday morning for misdemeanor possession of marijuana according to the official bookings of the ACC jail. Fellow freshman and defensive lineman Chauncey Rivers was also booked by ACC on the same charge just 21 minutes later at 2:44 a.m. Both are still listed as in custody at this time.

Patrick, who didn't make the trip with the team to Jacksonville this past weekend after playing in all seven of the games prior to that meeting, played special teams and in a reserve role at inside linebacker for the Bulldogs. Rivers has played in two games this season and has registered one tackle.

This incident marks the first of the off-field variety for Georgia in over a calendar year. The two will face at least a one-game suspension and it's likely that they will serve two or more. UGA's policy for a failed drug test is one game with two games being more likely because of the arrest for a misdemeanor charge.
