Natrez Patrick, Chauncey Rivers Arrested: Latest Details, Mugshots and Reaction

Georgia freshmen defenders Natrez Patrick and Chauncey Rivers were arrested Wednesday on charges of misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt announced they would each be suspended one game as a result of the incident.  

Mark Schlabach of ESPN.com reported Patrick and Rivers were arrested by University of Georgia police early Wednesday morning and booked after 2 a.m. ET. He also provided a statement from Richt about the situation: "They made a very poor decision and I'm extremely disappointed. They will be disciplined in an appropriate manner and hopefully have learned a valuable life lesson that will benefit them moving forward."

Fox 5 Atlanta provided the players' mugshots:

Patrick had been seeing time as part of the team's linebacker rotation with 13 total tackles in seven games. He has an intriguing skill set that could allow him to eventually develop into a key pass-rushing asset for the Bulldogs, barring further off-field issues.

Rivers has been limited to more sporadic special teams duties in his first season. He's registered a single tackle in two appearances.

Both players will now miss the team's SEC clash with Kentucky on Saturday. Given their already limited playing time, they could struggle to get back on the field once their suspensions end, too.

Patrick and Rivers will be eligible to return when Georgia faces off with Auburn on Nov. 14.
