In the week that saw Georgia Bulldog wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in court deal with his speeding charge, another UGA football player is cited while behind the wheel: the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office says freshman linebacker Samuel M’Pemba was doing 88 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone on Highway 441.
Rosemy-Jacksaint was stopped earlier this year for driving 90 miles per hour on Atlanta Highway in Athens. He gets a fine and six months’ probation and will have to complete a defensive driving course.
