Tennessee defensive back Kenneth George Jr. arrested in Miami

The Tennessee Volunteers have paused practice for spring break, but unfortunately we still have some news out of the football program.

Kenneth George Jr, a redshirt junior defensive back, was arrested in Miami early on Thursday morning. He is accused of punching a Miami police officer. George was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center this morning. He faces charges for battery, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Police said George was cursing at one of the officers and ignoring his commands. As the officer tried to get him out of the street, George punched him and knocked the police radio out of his hands, the report said.
