Why name the award after Mr. Lumpkin? Because he is the longtime police chief in Athens, Georgia, widely recognized as the trail blazers of ridiculous athlete arrests. Whether it's scooter-related infractions, being passed out drunk on a toilet while taking a dump, the always dangerous "emerging from an alley", or passing cars on the right on a two-lane road, no one busts more heads for more flimsy reasons that the Athens-Clarke County Police Department.
