Kareem Stagg, an 18-year-old basketball player at the University of Georgia (UGA), was arrested on Wednesday in Oconee County, Georgia, after being clocked driving 87 mph in a 65-mph zone. An Oconee County deputy observed Stagg's gray Tesla SUV and pulled him over. During the stop, Stagg revealed he did not have his driver's license, stating that a paper copy was mailed to him. He presented a driver's course certificate, which the deputy verified, revealing that Stagg only held a learner's permit. Upon realizing he needed a licensed driver over 21 with him, Stagg was arrested for driving without a valid license. He was later released after posting a $1,245 bond. UGA Athletics acknowledged the situation and is currently gathering more information but refrained from further comments due to the ongoing legal proceedings.
