Rara Thomas update: Felony charges dismissed for Georgia WR, per report
Rara Thomas’ felony charge has been dismissed, according to a report.
Thomas has been suspended by Georgia since his arrest back in January. He was charged with felony false imprisonment and misdemeanor battery family violence 1st offense.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Chip Towers was 1st to report that the felony charge was dismissed on Friday. Per the report, Thomas has also entered a “pretrial diversion program” to resolve the misdemeanor charge.
The requirements of the pretrial diversion program include anger management classes and 40 hours of community service work, per the report. Thomas is also required to pay service fees to the court.
“We’re happy that we were able to work with the district attorney’s office to reach a resolution that was fair and just and agreeable to all of the parties, including the alleged victim,” Kim Stephens, Thomas’ attorney, said Friday via the AJC.
Thomas’ case being resolved could clear the way for him to re-join Georgia’s football program this spring, per the report.
The 2023 campaign would be Thomas’ 1st in Athens. He transferred to Georgia earlier this offseason after playing for Mississippi State in 2021 and 2022. He has 878 yards and 12 touchdowns in his collegiate career.
See boys yall literally just gotta not kill her and you’re good to go for some more sports ball!!!
That new sec/media rights deal is gonna be saweeeet!
And which troll are you? Gonna guess… nocajones.
Operation… a new troll.
Them D-AMN Dawgs!
Alleged Vic Tim? She was obviously more than alleged.
That’s hard to say. He’s not exactly admitting guilt by accepting diversion, more like negotiating expungement.
Not really. Diversion programs are for the guilty.
The alleged v1ct1m agreed with the felony charges being dropped.
I’m not saying they were having a Sunday School meeting but it not beyond realm of possibility that in the heat of the moment SHE exaggerated, or was being vindictive
Gonna hard disagree here. Diversion programs are often given as an alternative even to the innocent.
It’s much less taxing on everyone to not go through a court process.
Innocent people take plea deals often.
Sorry. That’s nonsense.
Kirby thinks they don’t have a culture problem on his team. I hope he doesn’t mean that. I’m certain there are kids on his team that do things the right way, but the optics of this week would suggest there is an issue.
Rebel4Ever…Your envy of two(2) consecutive National Championships is showing. You’re acting like a Vol fan now. I’ve partied in The Grove and I know Ole Miss fans are vastly superior to Vol fans. Hotty toddy.
Welcome back, Corch! Always glad to see you around.
AFan has been around for a while. Not a troll. You on the other hand.
Yeah… I’ve been around for a year and a half approximately and my old name was joshify before I switched to my current handle.
Not envious of anyone and especially not Alabama, Georgia or anyone else. You do understand optics, right? It’s the public image of a business, person or institution. From racing, domestic violence and Bennett’s issue, the optics are not very good for Georgia at the moment. That’s just simply the facts.
AFan been real salty on TN since last October.
Not sure why……
The problem with your post is that RaRa has never been with the team. He isn’t a part of Georgia’s culture. He is a transfer who was suspended almost the second he got to Athens.
“pretrial diversion program” aka washing 700HP UGA student-athlete cars on Sunday mornings.
The culture problem is that the Dawgs culture is about winning CFP national titles. Kirby is only getting started everybody knows it. When felony convictions occur and multiple players get dismissed then we can talk. When teams are getting curb stomped by the Dawgs this fall the culture problem will no longer be brought up. RaRa and the boys will see you soon. GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!
