The public intoxication charge against former Auburn quarterback Sean White has been dismissed.
Auburn municipal court judge James McLaughlin dismissed the charge against White. He was arrested on Sept. 17, 2017 after being suspended for the first two games of Auburn’s football season last fall.
The day after his arrest, White was dismissed from the Auburn football team.
White was ordered to pay court costs and complete 20 hours of community service. White was originally set to appear in court on Nov. 30, but White gave for a written plea for the court to review.
His court date was then set for Feb. 1. Neither White nor his lawyer appeared at the court date.
White was arrested by Auburn Police on Ross Street and transferred to the Lee County Jail in September.
The quarterback had recently returned from a two-game suspension but the reason for the suspension wasn't made clear to the public.
"To see him leave how he left is kind of disappointing," Auburn linebacker Deshaun Davis said. "It kind of hurt for us from a family standpoint and from a team standpoint. But I'm sure he's going to get his head back on his shoulders. He's going to get on the right track."
The junior quarterback started 16 games for Auburn over the past two seasons, including 10 contests last year as Auburn's No.1 QB. White led the SEC in completion percentage and quarterback rating amid Auburn's six-game winning streak in 2016.
