Stetson Bennett has to be slapping his forehead with his hand right now as he sees himself trending on social media yet again.
Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett was arrested in January for public intoxication and he likely was not happy about it as he came off his second consecutive National title win.
He still won’t be happy to know that video has come out from that night. Via TMZ.com, the video shows that Bennett became a little agitated with the police who detained him.
Bennett was arrested after police responded to a caller to 911 who said Bennett had been knocking on her door. When asked whether he knew where he was, he said, “Nope.” Asked for his address, he said, “I don’t know.”
“I’m not from here,” Bennett said. “I don’t know no nobody. I came here to train. Ain’t doing nothing.”
Once he was put in handcuffs and into a squad car, he complained about the tightness of the cuffs.

When the police left the scene with Bennett in the back seat, he begins to complain about them making up a “new, pretend law.”
“You’re introducing yourself to a problem,” he added.
“The door shut and somebody fell asleep,” Bennett said from the back of the squad car. “And now five million people gotta see it, don’t they? Thank you boys for looking out for me. You guys are the best. Reputation ruined. Everything I worked for for 20 years, was ruined. But y’all boys just looking out for me, aren’t ya? Thank you, sir.”
Stetson finally spoke on the incident at the combine as he called it a “mistake.”
Stetson Bennett still has something to prove, even after two national titles. Bennett is one of the 2023 NFL Draft’s most polarizing quarterback prospects and has a chance to be a second or third-round selection if there’s a franchise that sees him as an ideal fit.
Bennett comes off his second consecutive MVP performance in the College Football Playoff national championship game and leaves the Bulldogs as one of the most decorated players in program history.
He just needs to stay out of trouble.
