4 UGA players charged with theft by deception
GEORGIA
ATLANTA (AP) — Four Georgia football players were released on bond late Monday following their arrests on misdemeanor charges of theft by deception. University of Georgia chief of police Jimmy Williamson said Tuesday an investigation found that three players — starting safety Tray Matthews, defensive linemen Jonathan Taylor and James DeLoach — received double payments for stipend checks of $71.50 issued by the Georgia athletic department. The players deposited the paper checks through a mobile device and also cashed the checks at a convenience store, according to Williamson.
