03/06/23 - RaRa Thomas, rSr/2026, Troy, 6-1, 208 (DS#61 WR) + More +

The attorney for a Georgia wide receiver who transferred from Mississippi State reached an agreement with the District Attorney's office to resolve the charges against him from Jan. 23 for an incident with a female in a UGA dorm. Rodarius "Rara" Thomas is entering a pretrial diversion program to resolve the misdemeanor charge of battery/family violence and a felony charge of false imprisonment was dismissed, attorney Kim Stephens said.

A tentative agreement has been in place for about a month, but it was finally signed on Friday, Stephens said. Police alleged Thomas stood in front of a dorm room door, blocking the exit and telling the female she could not leave, but Stephens said it was dropped primarily because there wasn't enough evidence to support that. The battery charge was for bruising the alleged victim's bicep and causing abrasions to her shin. Thomas will serve 40 hours of community service, complete an anger management class he already started and pay a $500 program fee. - Athens Daily Banner
