UPDATED: Georgia receiver RaRa Thomas arrested for the second time

Another Georgia player is in trouble off the field.

Receiver RaRa Thomas was arrested on Friday morning. He was booked into the Athens-Clarke County jail on one felony charge of second-degree cruelty to children and two misdemeanor charges of family violence battery.

Per a team source, Thomas has been suspended indefinitely by head coach Kirby Smart.

No bond was listed for Thomas.

This is Thomas' second run-in with the law in Athens after transferring from Mississippi State. In January 2023, Athens police arrested Thomas on a felony charge of false imprisonment and a misdemeanor charge of family violence.

Thomas is expected to be a major contributor to Georgia's offense in 2024. He caught 23 passes for 383 yards and a touchdown last season in 11 games.

UGA Executive Associate Athletic Director for Strategic Communications Steven Drummond tells UGASports, “This is a pending legal matter and we will have no comment at this time.”

The Athens Clark County police had this statement:

"At approximately 1:34 AM, Athens-Clarke County Police responded to the 300 block of Mill Creek Way regarding a domestic violence call. Upon preliminary investigation, Rodarius Thomas was charged with two counts of Family Violence Battery and one count of Cruelty to Children 2nd Degree. Thomas was booked into the Clarke County Jail.

Due to the nature of the investigation involving a juvenile victim, the report is not releasable pursuant to OCGA § 49-5-40(b)."
