Georgia honors lineman, staffer killed in January car crash at spring game

Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staff member Chandler LeCroy were killed in a car crash in January, just days after the Bulldogs won their second straight national championship.

The football team honored them three months to the day since their deaths during its spring football game Saturday.

On the first play of the game, Georgia's offense lined up without a left guard, the position Willock played, and took a delay of game.

"Today's first play is a delay of game in memory of the two missing today," the public address announcer said.

The crowd applauded, and members of the team shared hugs.

Willock was a passenger in an SUV that crashed in Athens after leaving a road and striking two power poles and several trees, according to authorities. LeCroy was transported to a hospital, where she later died

It was later revealed Jalen Carter, a top NFL Draft prospect, was in another vehicle racing the 2021 Ford Expedition driven by LeCroy. His draft stock has fallen due to the legal troubles and a poor performance at his pro day.

The crash came hours after the team celebrated its second consecutive title in a ceremony at Sanford Stadium.

Three suspects were arrested in Texas this week in connection with an alleged organized fuel ring, accused of stealing 18,000 gallons of gas at one station.

Employees at the Rickey Rockets gas station in Garland, Texas, alerted police after growing suspicious of a white box truck that kept showing up, FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth reported Saturday.

Following a multi-county investigation, Julio Benitez-Hernandez, 30, Joxan Santos-Legon, 42, and Rafael Vazquez-Unzaga, 30, were arrested 150 miles northeast on Garland in Bowie County on Thursday. 

Investigators surveilled the suspects' truck to Bowie County where the suspects were allegedly found with 1,500 gallons of stolen gas

"This goes over four different counties from these individuals," Garland Officer Felicia Jones told FOX 4. "There is no telling how many different locations, and how many times, and how much was taken each time they made a trip."

The suspects are accused of pumping the gas at a normal rate while slowing down the meter, the Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center told FOX 4.

Their box truck also reportedly has an internal storage system for the stolen gas, Garland police said. 

The suspects were booked into the Bowie County Jail and will eventually be transferred back to Garland, according to FOX 4.
