LAWRENCEVILLE — Former University of Georgia and NFL quarterback Quincy Carter was arrested again last week — this time in Gwinnett County, on a battery warrant from earlier this month.
According to a police report, officers responded to the Lawrenceville home of Carter’s girlfriend in the wee hours of Oct. 5. She told police that Carter came home at about 1 a.m. “drunk again.”
When she reportedly told Carter she wanted to end their relationship because she “had enough of him being drunk all the time,” things turned violent, the girlfriend said.
“He put both of his hands around her neck and started choking her,” the report from Gwinnett County Police says. “He also punched her in the mouth and in the face area several times.”
The officer noted several bruises and cuts on the alleged victim’s face and arms.
A warrant was taken out for Carter — who played quarterback at Georgia from 1998-2000 and then with the Dallas Cowboys before stints in the Canadian and arena leagues — that night.
Carter was subsequently pulled over in Duluth on Oct. 15 after an officer reported noticing an expired tag. The 33-year-old Carter did not have a valid driver’s license either.
“(Carter) stated he currently did not have a driver’s license because his driver’s license expired in 2004,” the officer wrote.
Carter, who has been arrested on a series of drug and alcohol-related charges in recent years, was released on $6,596 bond.
