Georgia OL allegedly carries disorderly patron out of strip club
Georgia offensive lineman Zach DeBell carried a disruptive customer out of an Athens, Ga., strip club early Thursday morning per a police report of the incident.
According to the report, obtained by The Athens Banner-Herald a man, Joseph William Kirkland, exposed himself to a dancer as she was dancing for him in a room at the club. She asked him to not expose himself, but he didn't comply.
The dancer then alerted Kim and other employees, who attempted to remove Kirkland from the club, police said. While being ushered through the club, witnesses told police that Kirkland punched and elbowed Kim in the bar area.
That’s when UGA’s 298-pound offensive lineman Zach DeBell stepped in to help the employees.
DeBell “carried Kirkland out of the bar by his belt and collar and had placed him on the sidewalk outside the front doorway,” according to the police report.
Kirkland was then allegedly punched by the bouncer, Andrew Ho Kim, as he was outside the club and on his stomach. Both Kirkland and Kim were arrested.
DeBell is a senior from Tarpon Springs, Fla. Georgia, 9-3, is awaiting to see where it will play in a bowl game.
