Additional details surrounding the arrests of Georgia Bulldogs Dontrell Glover and Bo Walker have been provided.

A pair of Georgia Bulldogs Football players were arrested earlier this week for misdemeanor charges of shoplifting in the Athens-Clarke County area. According to reports, the two players involved in the incident were running back Bo Walker and offensive lineman Dontrell Glover.

According to initial reports, Walker and Glover were stopped at a local Walmart and eventually detained following an alleged theft of items totaling approximately $100. Following the arrests, further details surrounding the story have been made available.

According to an incident report initially obtained by the Athens Banner-Herald, Walker and Glover were stopped after attempting to walk out of the store with approximately 13 cleaning items that were listed as "recovered" by the Walmart staff.

The items included in the report were listed as paper towels, foam plates, assorted Febreeze products, napkins, sugar, and bread. Both Glover and Walker were notified that they were barred from shopping at Walmart for two years.

Glover and Walker's Impact on the Bulldogs Roster

The University of Georgia has yet to release an official statement on the matter and is reportedly continuing to gather information on the situation. There is currently no timetable for the team to make an official statement.

Dontrell Glover has been an integral piece of the team's offensive line this season and would have almost certainly had a starting role in some capacity for the Bulldogs' upcoming Sugar Bowl matchup. However, the latest developments could place the young offensive lineman's starting status in jeopardy. 

Bo Walker was also a player who showed much promise this season as he scored three rushing touchdowns in the Dawgs' final home game earlier this season. He was sidelined before the SEC Championship game following an injury suffered during a car accident.

The Bulldogs are currently in the midst of gearing up for a College Football Playoff appearance in this year's Allstate Sugar Bowl. As preparations continue, limiting distractions and any other legal issues will be a must for Kirby Smart and his roster.

Georgia's next matchup will be played on Thursday, January 1st, in the Allstate Sugar Bowl as a part of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. Kickoff for this game is scheduled to take place at 8:00 p.m. ET. An official statement on Glover's or Walker's ability for this upcoming matchup has yet to be made available.
