Georgia wide receiver Rodarius "Rara" Thomas was arrested early Friday morning on multiple family violence charges and was being held in the Athens-Clarke County Jail, according to jail records.
Thomas, a senior from Eufaula, Alabama, was charged with cruelty to children-family violence, a second-degree felony, and two misdemeanor counts of battery-family violence. He was jailed at 3:20 a.m. ET Friday and is being held without bond.
Georgia athletic department spokesperson Steven Drummond told ESPN, "This is a pending legal matter and we'll have no further comment."
Under University of Georgia Athletic Association guidelines, Thomas faces an immediate suspension after being charged with a felony.
