INDIANAPOLIS — Warrants were issued Wednesday for the arrest of Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter, the top-five prospect who seemed to be the one of the best fits for the Bears in next year’s draft.

Carter was charged with reckless driving and racing, both misdemeanors, by the Athens-Clarke County (Ga.) Police Department in relation to the death of Georgia football player Devin Willock and staffer Chandler LeCroy in January.

According to a police statement, an investigation found that LeCroy and Carter were racing after leaving downtown Athens around 2:30 a.
