He was charged with failure to maintain lane/improper driving on road, affixing materials that reduce visibility of windows/windshield and reckless driving along with a DUI, records showed.

The DUI charge was deemed "less safe." It means that Etienne could be convicted of it even if his blood alcohol content level was less than .08.

"We are aware of the charges and are currently in the process of gathering additional information," Georgia’s executive associate director for strategic communications Steven Drummond said in a statement. "This is a pending legal matter and we will not have further comment at this time."
