Chauncey Rivers was dismissed from the Georgia Bulldogs after getting arrested for a third time in seven months, the team announced Friday.

Rivers was arrested by Doraville Police early Wednesday evening for committing a felony by violating Georgia's Controlled Substance Act, according to DeKalb County Jail's online records.

He was also charged for marijuana possession of less than one ounce, keeping drugs in container and parking in a handicap space, all misdemeanors.

He was released by police Thursday after posting his bond of $2,200, according to records.

Police originally approached Rivers' vehicle after noticing it was illegally parked in a handicap spot at a QuikTrip off of Pleasantdale Rd., according to the police report.

When the officer approached the vehicle, they saw Rivers "passed out" in the drivers seat. The officer had to physically wake Rivers up by opening the unlocked car door and touch him on the shoulder. The officer said the car reeked of marijuana.

While police searched the vehicle, Rivers approached the officers explaining he was a Georgia football player who had recently been in trouble for possession. The officers placed him in handcuffs for his behavior, according to the report.

The officer found a leafy substance, which later tested positive for marijuana, in River's book bag, which was in the trunk.

At the jail, a pill identified to be Alprazolam, an anxiety medication legal only by prescription, was found in Rivers' jacket pocket.

Rivers was arrested back in November 2015 with teammate Natrez Patrick by the Athens-Clarke County Police for marijuana possession on campus. He was arrested again in December on misdemeanor marijuana charges.

Rivers is a sophomore at Georgia and graduated from Stephenson High School.

In his first season, he played in four games as a defensive-end.

Rivers is the fourth Bulldog to be arrested this offseason.

Here is Kirby Smart's full statement on Rivers:

“It’s extremely disappointing. He’s been given previous opportunities to remain on our football team but continues to exhibit a lack of good judgment and commitment to the standards we require and expect from our players. He’s put himself in a difficult position but we hope he finds a path that will provide some direction in his future.”
