Harris Charged for Driving Without License

Wednesday, Dec. 19 

Florida Gators quarterback Treon Harris has gone through an up-and-down season both on and off the field, but the freshman once again finds himself in trouble with the law.

According to Robbie Andreu of GatorSports.com, the 19-year-old Miami native is facing a second-degree misdemeanor for operating a vehicle without a license.

Edgar Thompson of the Orlando Sentinel reports that "Harris is scheduled to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 15 for the misdemeanor charge."

Scott Carter of GatorZone.com has a statement regarding the incident:

Harris was reportedly stopped by police for speeding on Dec. 13, per Andreu:

Marijuana was found upon searching the car, although Harris is not facing marijuana charges since he doesn't own the car that was pulled over:

According to Andreu, Harris was accompanied by two other Gators players in freshman defensive backs J.C. Jackson and Jalen Tabor:

Per Richard Johnson of Jacksonville.com, Harris plans to plead not guilty to the charge against him:

"

Per his lawyer Huntley Johnson #Gators QB Treon Harris will plead not guilty to misdemeanor charge.

Harris' attorney, Huntley Johnson, believes the charge will ultimately be dropped, according to Andreu.

"I think as soon as he gets his license, the charge probably will be dismissed," Johnson said. "That's the way it's usually handled in a case like this for a citizen, and he's a citizen."

Harris was accused of sexual battery by a female student earlier in the season, but she decided against pursuing criminal charges.

The Gators are set to face East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl on Jan. 3, and Harris is expected to start under center.

That could potentially change if the school decides to pursue further discipline although there hasn't been any indication of that to this point.
