The details have emerged around the arrest of sophomore receiver Nitro Tuggle.

According to a report from the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, Tuggle was going over 100 miles per hour when an officer pulled him over.

"On 3/19/2025 at approximately 2218 hours I was conducting stationary speed enforcement on the Outer Loop 10 near College Station Road," the report begins. "I witnessed a vehicle in the inside lane driving in complete excess of the speed limit which I visually estimated as over 100 mph. I used my department LIDAR 18618 to back up my visual estimation and it showed a speed of 107 mph. At this time there were other motorists on the roadway."

Georgia defensive back Daniel Harris was previously arrested for going 106 miles per hour on the loop in Athens.

The officer pulled over Tuggle, who also had his girlfriend in the car. The vehicle was listed as a 2021 Dodge Charger.

"I instructed Tuggle to exit the vehicle, at which point he nearly exited without placing the vehicle in park," the report said. "Due to his reckless disregard for the safety of others - including himself, his passenger, other motorists, and myself - by operating the vehicle at a speed 42 mph over the limit and exceeding triple-digit speeds, I placed him under arrest for Reckless Driving and Speeding."

Tuggle and offensive lineman Marques Easley have been indefinitely suspended by Georgia for separate reckless driving incidents.
