Georgia has dismissed freshman defensive back Chad Clay following his second arrest in the last four months.

The most recent incident stemmed from Clay allegedly stealing $30 Apple headphones from a basketball court at the Ramsey Student Center, according to Macon.com. Clay was arrested and charged with misdemeanor theft by taking before being released on $1,500 bond Wednesday night.

"Unfortunately, Chad will no longer be a part of our football program," head coach Kirby Smart said in a statement. "It is very disappointing, and we wish him the best in his efforts to continue his education."

Clay was first arrested in March when he and fellow freshman Julian Rochester were charged with felony possession of a weapon -- a BB gun -- in a school zone and second-degree criminal damage to property. The case is still pending.

The 19-year-old Clay was a three-star prospect out of Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Georgia.
