Georgia men's basketball player Billy Humphrey was arrested Tuesday morning in Gwinnett County, marking the third time in less than a year the point guard has run afoul of the law.

Humphrey was arrested and charged with DUI, failure to maintain lane and purchasing alcohol while less than 21-years-old. He was booked at the Gwinnett County Jail at 3:32 a.m.

Humphrey registered a .02 blood alcohol content, the limit for under 21.

Humphrey was arrested in Athens in January and charged with underage possession and failure to obey a traffic device, blowing a .03 at that incident. He was suspended for three games following that incident, but the recent arrest could mean more time.

Athletic Association rules dictate a second violation of alcohol rules results in suspension from 50 percent of regular-season games, which means up to 15 games in Humphrey's case.

Tuesday's arrest comes on the heels of his arrest and felony charge with possession of a weapon on school property in November. In that incident, University police found a butterfly knife in his East Campus dorm. He was required to perform 80 hours of community service, put on probation for 18 months and told to stay out of trouble.

NO more! It's time to cut him loose! He obviously is either a slow learner or just thinks his status as a basketball player makes him immune to obeying the law. (Continued…)

Time to cut him loose. I thought Felton had cleaned up all the trash on this team.

Billy is not 21. How long has anyone been in college, away from home, etc. in going to and from college during your life and somehow broke the law? Did you speed going and coming? When did you have your first beer, smoked a cigarette, smoked mj to be a part of a crowd and return home later without the cops picking you up? I got hit for speeding 3 times in one yr and had my license suspended for 6 mos when a teenager. (Continued…)
