The arrest is Patrick's second of the season and third of his career. The third arrest could get Patrick kicked off the team just weeks before the Rose Bowl.
In the video, Stanley pleads for officers not to arrest his friend,
"Please, please, please, please, please. If you've got a heart, if you have a heart, please listen. Hear me," he said. "That's the end for him, man. He's going to jail for this? That's it, man. That's his career. That's that man's life. That's his family."
Both men were transported to the county jail.
"We're sorry. We're not bad kids," Stanley said in the video.
Channel 2's Richard Elliot contacted the UGA athletic department. He was told there are no new developments in the status of the two players.
