Georgia coach Kirby Smart dismissed backup offensive lineman Nyier Daniels on Monday, a day after his arrest after allegedly driving more than 150 mph while attempting to flee police in Commerce, Georgia.

Daniels, from Newark, New Jersey, faces more than a dozen criminal charges and was being held Monday on $21,000 bond in the Jackson County Jail in Jefferson, Georgia.

Daniels faces two felony counts of second-degree cruelty to children and two felony counts of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, according to a police incident report obtained by ESPN.

According to the report, Daniels fled police with two of his younger siblings in the car.

He faces 10 additional traffic-related misdemeanors, including reckless driving and driving at maximum limits.
