ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia defensive back Sanders Commings was arrested Saturday on a charge of simple battery domestic violence. The charge is a misdemeanor.

At some point, these witnesses tried to intervene and get between the two parties because the argument was reaching a level where they felt something was going to happen.
