Charges dismissed against former Georgia football receiver Zachariah Branch

Charges of obstruction and obstructing a sidewalk against Zachariah Branch were dismissed in Athens after reviewing evidence.
Branch’s attorney said the State reviewed evidence, including videos, and agreed to drop all charges.
The Falcons, who drafted Branch in the NFL Draft, said the arrest did not affect their evaluation of him.
Branch stated he was not anxious about how the incident could have affected his draft stock.
The case stemmed from an incident outside Cloud Bar in downtown Athens in the early morning of April 19.
Branch is a USC transfer who set a Georgia single-season reception record in 2025.
Zachariah Branch cooperated fully with law enforcement, according to statements from his attorney.
The Athens Banner-Herald originally published the article about the charges being dismissed.
The incident occurred days before Branch was drafted by the Falcons in the NFL Draft.
The charges were dismissed by the solicitor and followed a review of evidence by the State.
