DALLAS (AP) — Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett, who led the Bulldogs to their second straight national championship, was arrested early Sunday after police said he was intoxicated and he knocked on doors.

Bennett, 25, was charged with public intoxication and taken to the city’s detention center, Dallas police said.

Police said around 6:10 a.m. officers responded to reports of a man knocking on doors. The location reported by police was a townhouse community near downtown Dallas.

It was unclear whether he had been released from the detention center. An attempt by the Associated Press to reach someone at the detention center failed.

Bennett came to Georgia nearly six years ago at the start of its growth to become the most dominant program in college football.

The University of Georgia athletics department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
