Georgia Bulldogs senior wide receiver Rara Thomas was arrested on Friday morning and is facing multiple charges, including two misdemeanor counts of battery and one count of second-degree cruelty to children, which is a felony charge, according to a report from Dawgs HQ.
At the time of this writing, Thomas remains in jail, where he awaits a bond hearing. He was booked into jail by Athens-Clarke County Police at 3:20 a.m. ET.
Thomas’s arrest continues the litany of off-field run-ins with the law inside the Georgia football program, many of which have come in the form of driving-related charges.
As for Thomas, this is not the first time that he has faced charges like these. Thomas was arrested in 2023 after enrolling as a transfer from Mississippi State on one misdemeanor count of family violence and one felony count of false imprisonment. Both charges were eventually dropped after Thomas entered a pretrial diversion program and completed an anger management course, along with court-mandated community service.
Thomas was expected to slide into a starting role with the Bulldogs offense this fall after catching 23 passes for 383 yards and a touchdown in a supporting role last season.
