London Seymour, a defensive tackle for the University of Georgia Bulldogs, was arrested on January 29, 2026. This arrest stemmed from an alleged incident that took place on December 5-6, 2025.

Details of the Incident

Seymour, along with three associates, reportedly kicked in the doors of two dormitories at the University of Georgia. In total, 11 doors were damaged during this event, which was thought to be part of a viral TikTok challenge.

Legal Proceedings

  • Seymour faces 11 felony counts related to criminal damage to property.
  • He has since posted bond and been released from custody.
  • His attorney, Kim Stephens, plans to seek a pretrial diversion program to resolve the case.

Stephens criticized the UGA Police Department for their approach, arguing that a single warrant would have sufficed for the alleged damage. “The UGAPD took 11 warrants in a case that they could have and should have taken a single warrant,” she stated.
