Clint Boling OJP file and police incident report

One starter on the Georgia football team was found responsible by the Office of Judicial Programs for violating University conduct regulations while another waits to see if any action is taken following his arrest and charge with carrying a concealed weapon, according to documents obtained by The Red & Black.

Offensive lineman Clint Boling's case was resolved Tuesday (June 10) with the OJP, stemming from his arrest May 14 in Alpharetta on DUI charges. Defensive end Jeremy Lomax has no pending judicial action following his charges in early June with speeding and carrying a concealed weapon, but has been disciplined twice by the OJP in the past three years.

Further documents show that star running back Knowshon Moreno also faced disciplinary action by the OJP last year for violating student housing rules and failure to comply with the sanctions of his punishment. All issues were resolved in March of last year, and at present, Moreno has no pending cases.

Boling was found responsible for alcohol related misconduct and was placed on probation from the University until June 10, 2009. Additionally he must complete an alcohol education program with the University Health Center and complete 40 hours of community service by Nov. 1.

Boling was initially contacted by Brandon Frye, assistant dean of students, on May 28 to discuss his violation of the code of conduct. Boling was again contacted by Frye on June 6, and is given until Wednesday (June 11) to set up a meeting. "After that date" Frye wrote in an e-mail to Boling "I will have to flag your records."

Under the policy set forth by the Georgia Athletic Department, a student-athlete found in violation of the University's alcohol policy is automatically suspended for 10 percent of the team's games.

In Lomax's case, there is no pending action in response to his June 2 arrest. But Lomax has two previous code violations, one in 2005 and another in 2006.

In 2005 Lomax admitted to forging a University parking permit and displaying it on an automobile. Lomax wrote that he "replaced the sticker on my car with my old sticker to pay a lesser charge for summer parking. Which was stupid cause now I have to pay more in the long run." Lomax was given 20 hours of community service and a $175 citation.

Lomax was found in violation of student housing rules and disorderly conduct in 2006. The incident occurred outside McWhorter Hall when a loud conversation woke up a resident at 2:30 and 3:30 in the morning. The resident asked the group to keep it down. Lomax asked the group with him if the resident was a Village Community Assistant, then told the resident to go back in his apartment. The resident "asked his name and Lomax replied "I.P.Freely" and "Mark Richt" " the documents state. The resident then identified Lomax from camera feeds.

For the violation, Lomax had to write an educational essay on being a strong community member, and was placed on housing restrictions and given probation.

Moreno's case stems from an October 2006 incident at East Campus Village. Moreno and his roommate, Georgia linebacker Akeem Hebron, were asked to turn down the music in their dorm room at 12:45 a.m. following the Ole Miss game. The conduct review board found them both in violation of the Quiet Hours Policy, and required Moreno to write a research paper about "the harmful effects of excessive noise pollution."

Moreno wrote the paper, but did not meet the conditions regarding the format of the essay, the documents say. He was asked to resubmit it with the proper format, but the same incorrect format was presenton the resubmission. Moreno was asked again to send in the essay with the proper format, but it was again wrong. At this point Moreno's record was flagged.

The case was finally resolved March 22, 2007.
