ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia coach Mark Richt has doubled the
one-game suspension given to fullback Fred Munzenmaier following
his arrest last weekend for underage possession or consumption of
alcohol.
The incident report filed by Athens-Clarke County police
included details of Munzenmaier's inappropriate exchange with the
arresting officer.
Munzenmaier told the officer it was obvious the police have it
"out for them," according to the report, and that police have a
point system for athletes.
Munzenmaier later used an expletive to tell the officer to be
quiet, according to the report.
"The way he handled the situation with the police officer was
totally inappropriate and demonstrated a lack of respect for
authority," Richt said. "We expect our players, just like my
children, to show total respect at all times for those in authority
and especially police officers."
Munzenmaier, who will be a sophomore, will miss the first two
games of the 2008 season against Georgia Southern and Central
Michigan.
Defensive back Donavon Baldwin also was arrested by University
of Georgia police for driving under the influence of alcohol and
improper driving. He was given a one-game suspension.
