The accuser, a 20-year-old UGA student, called police from his home at about 3:18 a.m. to report that he’d been punched by Gurley more than an hour earlier at the Bourbon Street Bar & Grill on Broad Street, police said. He accused the football player of attacking him after he took a photograph of himself with Gurley in the background, according to police.
Police said that they reviewed surveillance video footage of the student being punched inside the bar, but it was a white male who struck him, not Gurley.
After the accusation was leveled against the star football player, Gurley agreed to be interviewed at the police station, police said.
Gurley told a detective that the UGA student had been trying to take selfies with his cellphone as Gurley was in the background with friends from his hometown, according to police.
