Georgia Southern QB Shai Werts has been suspended by the team indefinitely following his arrest after a traffic stop on Wednesday night.
Werts, the team’s starting quarterback, was allegedly going to be pulled over for speeding by Saluda, South Carolina, police. After reportedly calling police to say he wanted to keep going and pull over in a more well-lit area, he did pull over. And that’s where police allegedly found a substance on the hood of his car that Werts said was bird poop.
Per police, the substance tested positive for cocaine. Werts has been charged with a misdemeanor for cocaine possession.
His suspension was announced Friday morning by Georgia Southern coach Chad Lunsford. Defensive end Quan Griffin has also been suspended from the team and is facing multiple charges in what’s been reported as a domestic dispute.
Werts started 10 games for the Eagles in 2018 as Georgia Southern went from 2-10 in 2017 to 10-3 and Camellia Bowl champions in 2018. He was the team’s second-leading rusher with 908 yards and 15 touchdowns and was 69-of-116 passing for 987 yards and 10 touchdowns with no interceptions.

He's doing lines directly off the hood of the car?
And while he's being tailed, lights flashing, dude calls the cops to say he'll pull over when it's more well lit?
Un-fukkin-real.

Field drug tests are ridiculous for failure rates. His car could be subject to contact from any number of people.Cocaine is a fine powder, it doesn't stick to a car in flight and doesn't leave a residue after liquid contact unless it's a huge amount. Story is funny but something isn’t right.
Also, who blows rails off a hood of a car? Have some decency.

In July Pinnacle had the Georgia Southern (GS) regular season wins total at over 6.5 -150 & under 6.5 +113. On Sunday August 4 i noticed it was off the board.
SBR says the LSU/GS line re their August 31 game opened at -25.5 and is now at 29, 29.5 & 30 across various books. A reaction to the GS QB being arrested? From the articles i've read he hasn't been ruled out for that game. And he tested negative for drugs & was at the team practice on Sunday.

I wonder, if the kid tested clean, and this substance on the hood was "cocaine" if we're going to see a pair of cops caught staging a crime scene and planting evidence.

Honestly, from my experience, it is about 2 bad for every 1 good. Bad including any of the following traits: corrupt, liars, power hungry, overzealous, violent. There are plenty of decent cops but they are not the majority as theyd have you believe. Giving a human being a badge doesn't make him a saint. I'd say the 2-1 rule applies for most people in general, not just police.
