Georgia running back James Cook was arrested over the weekend on charges of driving with an invalid license and open container, and Dawgs247 has obtained the details that led to it all.

According to the Athens-Clarke County Police Department arrest report, an officer observed a Dodge Charger around 12:44 a.m. ET on December 14 traveling east on East Clayton Street in downtown Athens. The car had a dealer tag and when the officer maneuvered behind the vehicle to observe the date on the tag, the driver immediately moved into the middle lane.

The officer became suspicious that the driver was trying to prevent him from seeing the date on the tag and when he called in the number, the officer learned that the insurance status was unknown. That's when the officer turned on his emergency lights. The vehicle immediately pulled into a handicap parking space and both the driver and the passenger in the right front seat quickly exited the vehicle, further arousing suspicion.

A request was made by the officer for both to get back into the vehicle and they complied. Upon reaching the driver's side window, the officer picked up a strong scent of burnt marijuana. Cook, the driver, told the officer that there was no more marijuana in the vehicle because he had smoked it already. The officer also observed "shake" (flakes and/or residue) on the console of the car.

The passenger, a football player not considered a starter who'll remain unnamed because he was not charged in any capacity, told the officer that he had placed his Glock 19 in the glove compartment. The gun was checked and called in by the officer and since no charges were brought forth, we are left to assume that it was lawfully possessed.

Because of the smell of cannabis and the shake observed, the officer requested to search the vehicle where no more marijuana was found. The officer did, however, find an opened 1.75 liter bottle of Hennessy cognac. Cook told the officer that he didn't have his license on his person, and when the officer checked with his central command, he found that Cook's Florida-issued license was not valid. The officer checked for Cook's license with full name and date of birth.

At that time, Cook was arrested on the two charges and taken to the Athens-Clarke County jail where he was booked at 1:46 p.m. ET on December 14. He remained in ACC custody for a little over and hour and was released at 2:57 p.m. ET on $1,000 bond for each charge.

Cook is a sophomore at UGA and signed with the program in the 2018 class out of Northwestern High School (Miami, Fla.). He has played in all 13 games this season with 28 carries for 176 yards and two touchdowns. He also has 16 catches for 132 yards and four kickoff returns for 57 yards.
