John Horton Guerry, 20, a sophomore linebacker for the University of South Carolina, was arrested and charged with underage consumption of alcohol and open container early Saturday.
An officer of the Athens-Clarke County Police Department was on bike patrol at 2 a.m. when he saw Guerry holding a beer bottle at the corner of East Clayton and Wall streets, according to the police report.
Guerry threw the bottle in the garbage and told the officer he was 20, showing his license.
The office placed Guerry into handcuffs and took him to the Clarke County Sheriff's Office in a transport unit.
Guerry, who was not scheduled to play in Saturday's game, isn't the first Gamecock player to have a run-in with police this year. Three other South Carolina players have been arrested, including starting safety Emanuel Cook, who was arrested on a gun possession charge in August.
Raymond Harrison, USC athletics director of academics and life skills, was not available for comment Monday.

It's really sad to continue to see the R&B turning into a low rent tabloid. There are so many other newsworthy events taking place on campus worth writing about than who was arrested for what last weekend. (Continued…)

It is absolutely ludicrous to arrest someone for underage drinking. Sadly, it doesn't surprise me. Both the university and Clarke County police have been focusing on punitive alcohol enforcement at the expense of public safety for years. (Continued…)

Two things.
First, I agree that this is not news. A 20 year old gets busted drinking in Athens. Wow, imagine that.
Second, Emanuel Cook, the starting safety for USC, was fully reinstated by the university. (Continued…)

School. Paper.
It's a paper. It's printed by a school.
The headline was hilarious, the subject matter was pertinent and a little bit cathartic for those of us who had to sit in Sanford on Saturday. (Continued…)
