Bennett, who just led Georgia to its second straight national championship, allegedly was banging on doors in the Old East Dallas neighborhood. He was said to have been drunk when police found him.
The 25-year-old was the subject of many questions over the last two college football seasons. Many people questioned whether the former walk-on could successfully lead Georgia to the national championship. He did that twice and then recently started to receive questions over his behavior.
