A newly-released police report reveals what happened before University of Georgia star running back Trevor Etienne's arrest and DUI charge
ATHENS, Ga. - An Athens-Clarke police report has revealed new details about star running back Trevor Etienne's arrest and DUI charge over the weekend.
An officer arrested Etienne early Sunday on charges of drunken driving, failure to maintain a lane or improper driving as well as affixing materials that reduce visibility through the windows or windshield, jail records show.
According to the field case report, the officer noticed a gray sedan making a hard stop at a red light on South Milledge Avenue at around 1:50 a.m.
The officer started following the vehicle, and wrote that he saw the sedan pass another vehicle by going over a double yellow line on a blind curve near Will Hunter Road.
According to the officer, the car was already going at ta high rate of speed and was still accelerating when he activated his emergency lights and sounds.
"As I attempted to catch up, I reached 80 to 90 miles per hour, and the vehicle was still gaining ground," the officer wrote.
Eventually, the driver, later identified as Etienne, stopped in front of the Retreat on Milledge apartments, which is an upscale student housing complex. That's when the officer was able to catch up with him.
