Stetson Bennett arrested for public intoxication in Dallas, per report
Stetson Bennett’s Sunday morning reportedly got off to a rough start. Bennett was arrested for public intoxication around 6 a.m. CT, according to a report from WFAA in Dallas, Texas.
Details about the situation are currently limited. According to WFAA, the arrest occurred in the 1600 block of Tribeca Way in Old East Dallas. Officers were responding to “reports of a man banging on doors in the area,” per WFAA.
When the officers arrived, they found Bennett “and determined he was intoxicated,” a police news release said.
The release did not say if Bennett was the man reportedly banging on doors, and it did not say where, specifically, they located him.
Bennett was arrested by officers and then taken to a city detention center, per WFAA, which did not have any further information on his release.
Bennett, 25, finished his legendary Georgia career by leading UGA to a 65-7 win over TCU for back-to-back national titles. He was recently named winner of the Manning Award, the only QB award that factors in postseason performances. In 3 postseason performances, Bennett was 64-of-88 passing (72.8% complete) for 976 yards and 11 touchdowns in UGA’s wins over LSU, Ohio State and TCU to complete the 15-0 season.

BAHAHAHHAHA this is just too funny. Dawggie fans enjoy this one.
Easily amused aren’t you?
Image that sds is burying this article off the main page. People on here trying to keep media access but keeping it from the top headline? Journalistic integrity on sds error 404 not found.
No kidding. If this was rattler or Anthony richardson then they would be all over it on the front page. this is such a 3rd rate sports site-does anyone else know of another sec football site like this?
I was kind of thinking the same thing. If it were Hooker or Hyatt or Heupel? Front page.
Forget it, it just means more…
15-0 – Not a good look for Alabama to have a fan so rabid that he takes public pleasure in something like this. Talk about insecurity!
Fans of other teams chomping at the bit to jump on any negative news about Georgia. Sure is nice being at the top. Drunk in public…before y’all attack, look in the mirror and think about what you did in your 20s.
UGA Grad…Oh yes I recall a few almost-arrested times during my college years. That alcohol will create some situations if
we allow it to be in control. Roll Tide !
That is for sure! Fact is, you could go to downtown Athens on a Thursday night and arrest 10,000 people for public intoxication if you wanted to.
As a fan of another school, I think this is a nothing burger. He’s 25 and just led his team to back-to-back Natties. I hate to think how I might have acted in that situation when I was his age. As I understand it, he wasn’t driving and no one got hurt. Live and let live.
Its not a huge deal but is definitely relevant. Reminds me of Baker Mayfield in Fayetteville before the draft.
Quick!!!…make him watch the bio documentary of Johnny football!
Yeah, 1994 is right. It’s hilarious that Gumps are now looking up at us and trying to nitpick.
How the mighty have fallen!
“Dawggie fans enjoy this one.”
Bama just kicked a player off their basketball team for murder.
STETSON BENNETT IS A COKE HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CORCH supplied him the baby powder and he thinks he cool!!!!! ANOTHER SINNER ON THE UGA TEAM HOW SURPRISING. GO HELP THOSE IN NEED AND STOP DOING DRUG$ AND ABUSING WOMEN AND KILLING YOURSELF IN A CAR ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!
I think it is safe to say we are all praying for your soul.
His soul left a long long time ago…
He’s not a Coke head, he just likes the way that it smells and don’t act like you never did any booger sugar before.
I’m a Coke Zero-head fan myself! Coca-Cola is much better than Pepsi!
I AM high ON DR0G$$$……..HIGH ON jesu$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. stetson bennett was photographed at ghislaine maxwells island sucking on a d#ad BABY FOOT after it had been sacrificed for ep$tein -drumps best friend and closest confidant!!!!!!!!! i saw it on newsmax and facebook so its true dO YoUr oWn ReSaRcH!!!!
33-18. BAHAHAHAHA
2nd and 26
I do love it! No coincidence that it was in Dallas… Same reason he would be arrested in Tuscaloosa. Y’all mad at Stetson!HAHAHA! Back to back!
Dallas is not Fort Worth……
They are like 45 minutes apart.
I’m guessing you’re gonna say no Bama player ever got drunk and wound up in the city/County lock-up?
If your QB1 was coming off back 2 back national cham…oh, wait…
O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D!
Not going to help any NFL aspirations, not that he really had any. No wonder he wasn’t invited to the Senior Bowl, but then it is for NFL prospects.
Don’t look now but South Carolina just scored again.
Wow ! Those Cocks sure put a drubbing on the Vols best team in what 15 years. Twas a thing of beauty to behold.
And the Cocks just scored again.
NO the beauty to behold was TN torching bama
Just noticed, TN just scored another basket on jawja, yawn 70 – 41
Ah yes, no argument so move on to another sport. Tennessee has had far more succes in football than in basketball.
Don’t blink, UT just claimed another title in something!
Stetson Bennett turned down a Senior Bowl invitation.
Correct. They were going to add him to the roster.
Oh Hillbilly. Of course you believe things that aren’t true.
You believe Hendon Hooker was better than Bennett, too. That was also untrue.
Typical Georgia fan. Only they would say something like this
Typical vol fan. Thinking you guys are back because of one good season in which you still didn’t win the division, the conference, or a national championship. Lol.
Hooker is still better.
“Not going to help any NFL aspirations, not that he really had any. ”
This what I love about SEC fans. They seem to think that college translates into the pros.
There’s this “3rd string” QB that plays for San Fran. He went last in the draft. “He’ll be a great bench warmer” they said.
Bennett will get a shot to play in the NFL.
Knucklehead. Lost himself some serious cash most likely.
Going for the Johnny Manziel look is not a good idea.
I can’t say I’m surprised, cause Stetson Bennett showed up drunk on National TV last year.
At least he wasn’t driving.
That’s a great point.
Yep. If you’re going to be drunk in public, it’s FAR better you’re NOT operating a motor vehicle. Maybe like Ron “Tater Salad” White, Stetson was thrown into public.
That’s no big deal. Everyone at a bar is in public and intoxicated. Headline should read “ guy goes out drinking with friends and gets arrested for drinking, which is legal”.
It’s a pretty big deal when there is a toxicology report looming about a fatal car wreck involving a teammate
Not related
Able to read?
BUT, Going around beating on random people’s doors??
He was out of the bar and knocking on doors. That is the definition of drunk in public. The bar is personal property so you aren’t in public until they step off the curb.
It was a set-up.
The complainant and arresting officers are TCU fans.
Take it to the bank, ’94. Dallas has a good police force, which I can attest to, but this was at the discretion of the arresting officers. Other than that, a non-story that gets blown out of proportion.
Maybe he saw the NFL draft predictions
The one were Mel Kiper said he was a 3rd round prospect, you dumb Gump?
You need to cope better. Or cry harder. Either way, Roll Tears, Roll!
“Maybe he saw the NFL draft predictions”
You know absolutely nothing about the NFL.
He does know this will not help his draft stock. Like everyone else.
Getting arrested in the DFW area for public intoxication is not a surprise. What school is in the DFW area? Lol
On a serious note, it’s not a good look, but y’all acting like this hurts his chances in the NFL is funny.
Georgia fans sound just like Alabama fans 10 years ago. I guess eventually they’ll start acting like they’ve been there before.
We have been, why just last year in fact.
Come on, the guy is gone from Georgia and celebrated a little too hard on a Saturday night. He wasn’t driving, didn’t shoot anyone, didn’t beat up anyone. I mean, seriously?
You mean like the LSU fans after the 2019 season?
They will be leaving this scene out of the Disney movie.
Too much Pappy Van Winkle – a lesson that every young man has to learn. He wasn’t driving. This rates as a 1 on a scale of 100. Almost nothing to see here…
Exactly!
I’m guessing Stetson was in Texas to get some pointers from Johnny Football in the art of self destructing…my how the feel good story is hiccuping…get it together SB4, time to reconnect with your humble roots.
If he’s not careful his story will end up in Lifetime instead of the theaters… ;)
Hopefully this helps him realize he needs to be more careful so that he can get drafted and continue proving people wrong, but making wise decisions from here on.
Chip on your shoulder and working hard to prove folks wrong. Great! Acting like a total jack @ss post CFP Natty, ain’t cool, nor a good look for you or UGA. You are 25yrs old act like a grown man!
Looks like Eric Ainge was on-point with his character analysis
You mean Eric Ainge the drug addict? A great judge of character for sure.
Hey, TwoS–ts, have you ever walked around anywhere outside your house or a bar while drunk?
Congrats, you too have been “publicly intoxicated.”
I guess I’m fortunate. They never caught me walking around a neighborhood beating on doors at 6 AM while drunk (:
LOL!
Ahmaud Arbery wasn’t even drunk when he met some UGA fans, and here you are with some slick comments. Don’t make me come up there and humble you again
The next time a ‘turd “humbles” me, TwoS–ts, it will be the first time.
If you thought this season’s beat down was bad, wait until you see what we got ready for Mertz.
Coach Irvin, there’s no way that people don’t humble you 24/7… Try at least. I mean they’ve got a point to as you were the one on your knees at the glory hole…. Which confuses me about why your so smug about it.
You’ve decided to become a troll now. Disappointing.
If you mean Two-Bits, he’s no troll. What we actually have here is a bunch of folks over-reacting in the silly season for the lack of other news.
This is a nothing burger. Ole Stet is still in celebration mode. He wasn’t behind the wheel. He’ll pay a $150 fine and be done with it.
Precisely.
Somebody was knocking on a door, the police were called and Bennett was charged with public intoxication. Not a single mention of Bennett doing anything other than being intoxicated per a police officers judgment.
The moment the police officer read “Stetson Bennett” on the ID/Drivers-License the ticket and arrest were cast in stone.
Unless there is more to the story the charges will be dropped, with all the real crime going on what a joke. 99.9% of the time the police let the person call an Uber or a friend.
^^^
You really think walking around a neighborhood beating on doors drunk at 6 AM is no story?
On the 1-10 scale of things you can conceivably get arrested for, this hovers barely above zero. So no, if it was Joe Bleaux on the LSU tennis team you’d never have heard about it.
People get shot in Texas for less…
People get shot everywhere for less. Texas ain’t special there.
Bennett seems like a good guy. This a SEC sports board… The Reddit of SEC football. There are gonna folks saying he did all sorts of awful things with a chicken and a goat yet didn’t eat either of them. I would just take it with a grain of salt as most of these people are… a bit derpy if you catch my drift.
I was at AU for 4 years,left age 21, and got a PHD in drinking. Can only imagine the super PHD you can acquire after 8 years and age 25. Hahaha At least I never knocked on the wrong door. At least I don’t think I did.
Brett Farve lived in my relative’s neighborhood long ago. He banged on the door of a neighbor trying to get in. Brett was so drunk he didn’t realize he was at the wrong house.
He was a college student-athlete for six years, not eight, which included a red-shirt season and the pandemic season. AU fans talking about knocking on doors. Lol. That’s your new head coach’s mantra. He’ll be knocking on those co-ed doors until he gets caught.
Reminds me of what happened to Baker Mayfield. Except Mayfield tried to run away from the cops. Didn’t seem to affect his draft status.
I don’t think draft status is gonna matter with Bennett. “Anyone want a 25 year old 5’10 QB that, at most, will be a backup.” If I’m Bennett I say screw the NFL and start a cover band in Athens. God bless Athens!
Mayfield wasn’t 25 years old
TNBUSTER…You Vol fans surely have become a strange, obsessed group. You’re more like Mizzou fans now.
Sad to see, isn’t it?
TCU lovin cops must still be butt hurt.
Dallas is not Fort Worth……
Close enough.
I lived in Dallas in the mid-80’s and we used to go over to FW to party occasionally. It didn’t take long to get there. 45 minutes.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends!
Maybe the arresting officers were TCU fans….? Seriously this is a bad look for SBIV but no need to overreact for a fairly harmless faux paus. As long as he keeps his nose clean going forward he’ll be fine!
Well, that’s about the least offensive thing you could get arrested for. No assault, no DUI. The beating on doors is a little concerning, but that’s not confirmed.
He’s a grown man, he’ll be alright.
He could have pulled a Peyton Manning with female staff instead.
Mooning isn’t a crime.
Placing your junk on top of her head is. I guess you missed where an ex teammate corroborated that part of the story.
“Manning thrusted his naked crotch into the face of female trainer while she was tending to his foot”, he t-bagged her. Far from mooning. Yes that is a crime, Mannings settled a lawsuit with the young woman. Mooning? Good try!
Mooning is what Manning said it was, and I trust Manning.
I trust court documents, former UT player who Manning said he mooned says otherwise in deposition. UT paid 300k for it, and the Mannings unspecified settlement amount before court date. Must be one nasty rearend!
He JUST won his team back-2-back natties and this is what he does?
volfanFL…”He just won his team back-2-back natties.” Yes he did.
How about the Vols last Natty…1998 right ? Long time ago.
???
Nothing better to do? Lol ur gonna get a beatdown by Texas next year
Uhhhh. Injuries to Williams, Metchie, Jaylen Armour Davis and Josh Jobe won him the ‘21 one. I mean, there’s a reason UGA was already beaten after the 1st drive in the 3rd Q of the ‘21 SECCG. I’ll totally give him this years NC tho. I thought UGA’s secondary was super overrated and he lead them back against Ohio St. He was calm as can be in that game and knew they’d won before he walked on the field. Well, all of us did cause TCU was a joke but that’s not his nor UGA’s fault.
UGA didn’t have Metchie or Williams either, so they played a bunch of Freshmen.
Try player development, then you don’t have to worry about injuries. I didn’t see Georgia complaining about missing key players most of the season the last couple years. They embraced next man up, and beat Alabama with freshman playing key roles. Alabama could not do the same. That is the difference between winning and losing most top level games.
Your coach complained about the injuries. Especially to the receivers.
It is a little comical watching Georgia fans right now, because this is exactly how Bama fans are/were, and before any Georgia fans come attacking me, just look at the comments above. When you win, fans from other teams look for ways to bring you down.
Secondly, people need to grow up. The man made a mistake. What were you like 18-25? Sorry, small joke, I had 21 but forgot Stetson was a smidge older.
Last, Georgia leadership, either players or coaches, need to step in and have a convo with these guys. They are kids and going to make mistakes, but you had one death and another arrest within 2 weeks. It no longer becomes kids will be kids.
I agree on the car accident, although there wasn’t a player driving. As far as Stet, he is no longer with the program, so not sure how that is relevant to the ones on the team now.
Agreed, where he is not technically on the team, until he goes to the NFL he is still on the Georgia team.
True that a Georgia player was not driving, according to Georgia, they should not have been using that vehicle.
No, he made it pretty clear the morning after the title game his responsibilities to the program were over when he told them he was skipping the required media event.
I agree with your points. First… there is no defending it. He was drunk in public. Don’t defend it. Just own it and move forward. Learn from it. Grow. Be a better man.
Second, Stet is living his own life. He doesn’t need fans defending him.
Third… who cares what fans of other teams are saying about it? This isn’t about football. And it isn’t about Georgia’s program. It’s about Stetson. May not hurt his draft chances any… but certainly doesn’t help them either.
Not a good look, especially after the car crash incident though I don’t believe alcohol was involved with that.
Would be one thing if Stet was still with Georgia and playing next year, but he is training for the combine now.
From what I read they were leaving a strip club, and excessive speed was a factor. I would not be too surprised if alcohol was involved. It is a sad situation and the reasons behind it really are not going to change that fact.
He made a poor choice, it put no one in danger and it isn’t the end of his life. He just needs to use better judgement and keep his head down.
This dude is awesome, one of coolest personal stories in college football ever as I always thought he was “mehhhh” at best. I realized he rlly stepped his game with Monken this year despite UGA not being what seemed like an elite team . He def played elite when he had to though. Would love to hear the police video of him riding in the car singing the “you’re gonna feel the bulldoggggggggg BITE!” Then goes straight into cry mode cause Monken can’t lead him through life anymore.
Quick!!!…make him watch the bio documentary of Johnny football!
This will help his draft stock for sure! Once a walk-on… always a walk-on…
He was drunk and lost. Wow! What a big deal. He didn’t drive or endanger anyone..
Well…we don’t actually know he didn’t though. We just know he wasn’t caught/arrested for it. I’m not assuming he did or didn’t, but I am not going to minimize what he did do by assuming he didn’t do something worse when he very well could have.
Let’s see, you do this in Dallas where plenty of TCU fans live which might include some police officers. As the song says, where’s your sign.
its not really a big deal on the surface, but it doesnt look good to GMs. This is the third alcohol related negative instance involving him I can think of and even if its not true it probably appears as if he has a drinking problem.
This just killed the slim chance he had,in the draft.
Says someone that can’t even manage his fantasy football team to a 3rd place finish. Baker Mayfield had a similar but worse (he tried to run from the cops) incident happen before his draft. He still got taken #1 in the draft.
Earlier this past week, well prior to the incident in Dallas, ESPN’s Mel Kiper projected Bennett as a third-round draft pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
This latest situation involving Stetson Bennett is just one of a few notable events to happen to Georgia since the championship.
On Jan. 15, Georgia sophomore offensive lineman Devin Willock and staff member Chandler LeCroy tragically died in a car accident on the morning following the Bulldogs’ national championship parade in Athens.
One week later, on Monday, Jan. 23, Georgia transfer wide receiver Rodarius “RaRa” Thomas was arrested on a “felony charge of false imprisonment and misdemeanor battery-family violence.” Thomas transferred from Mississippi State less than a month prior to his arrest in Athens, Georgia.
UT Football News:
October 10th, 2022 – UT football captain, Jaylen McCollough was arrested and has been charged with felony aggravated assault.
September 16th, 2022 – Two Tennessee football players have been dismissed from the team after separate arrests on domestic assault charges, team spokesperson Bill Martin told the Knoxville News Sentinel.
Linebacker William Mohan and offensive lineman Savion Herring were both dismissed by Josh Heupel, Martin said Friday. Mohan, who was arrested in South Knoxville and suspended indefinitely, has been permanently off the team since Sept. 5, according to Martin.
Herring, who was arrested on a charge of domestic assault this week, was recently dismissed.
Dawglb…Great Post !
Thanks. Just pointing out a few facts. Lol.
Jeremy Banks:
It all started Saturday afternoon, when news broke that Jeremy Banks did not travel with Tennessee football to face the South Carolina Gamecocks. The news was already odd, as he never did seem hurt, but he could have gotten hurt in practice, and reports surfaced that he was sick.
However, as the Vols were in the midst of arguably the worst defensive performance in history, allowing South Carolina to score touchdowns on nine of their 10 offensive possessions in that game, rumors began to swirl that he was suspended internally. It started on Twitter.
By the end, there were two narratives, both of which involved Banks fighting Hendon Hooker. One narrative said it was about Banks stepping on the Power T in the locker room and Hooker confronting him over not the doing push-ups required when a player does that.
Another, seemingly more likely narrative, is that they were fighting over NIL money. Reports also surfaced that Joe Milton III got in between them, some going as far as to say that he broke Banks’ jaw. What has the most legs, though, at its root, is that Banks was suspended for fighting Hooker.
One final piece of this is that Tennessee football’s defense allegedly quit on the team over Banks being suspended. So how true is all of this? Well, after Monday’s press conference, we can safely say there is some legitimacy to it.
That Cocks stomping the Vols was a thing of beauty indeed.
Tennessee=the team of no “D” in defense.
UT is a POS program. Heupal will be out of there as soon as Oklahoma fires Venables.
Ok leghumpers, y’all said it was “better a punk than a drunk” when talking about Erik Ainge. What now? LOL
Ainge was a drug addict.
My acting like an idiot ended by age 19, not 25. And it didn’t end in jail either
Sorry…. no sympathy here. Want to be a man, then act like a man. Behaviors have consequences. No excuses.
“look in the mirror and think about what you did in your 20s”
You’re absolutely right. Man, I must’ve been REALLY drunk back then! I can’t for the life of me remember whether I was a two-time national champion Heisman finalist face of the program or not.
The memes are hilarious…
“How many have you had, boy?”
“Just a couple of Natties, officer…hic….”
Cans, no draft
Lol….couldn’t happen to a bigger douchebag.
A pattern with Stetson’s drinking is emerging and it truly concerns me. I hope he’s okay and has a grip on things.
