The district attorney's office in Winder, Georgia, has dismissed criminal charges against Georgia linebacker Natrez Patrick, who was one of two UGA players arrested on misdemeanor marijuana charges on Dec. 3, his attorney told ESPN on Thursday.

Patrick and reserve receiver Jayson Stanley were arrested only hours after the Bulldogs upset No. 2 Auburn 28-7 in the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. They were returning to Atlanta when a Barrow County sheriff's deputy pulled over the car Stanley was driving for speeding on Georgia Highway 316.

The district attorney's office also dropped DUI charges against Stanley during a hearing Thursday at Barrow County Probate Court.
