It appears that Georgia Southern QB Shai Werts was telling the truth all along.

Over the weekend it was reported that Werts was arrested when police found a mysterious white substance on the hood of his car during a traffic stop. Werts insisted that the white substance was bird poop but the police said that they tested it and it came back positive for cocaine.

According to the police report, Werts was initially pulled over for a speeding violation before a white powder was discovered on the vehicle. When the officer attempted to pull Werts over for a stop, he kept driving because of the dark area.

After reaching town, Werts was arrested for speeding and read his Miranda Rights. He was asked about the white powder on the hood of his vehicle.

The officer “tested the white powder substance on the hood with a cocaine kit and it did test positive with two kits in two different places of the hood of the car.”

Werts stated it was bird poop that he tried to clean at the beginning of the week at the local car wash.

“Everything about him and inside his vehicle made him appear as a clean person but the hood of his car was out of place,” the report states.

While the field test kits did test positive for cocaine, more expansive testing taken after the fact apparently revealed that the substance on the hood of the car was not a controlled substance.

Werts suspension by the school has been waived after the charges were dropped.
