Jail time for man accused of biting teenage swimmer

Jonathan Herbert gets 30 days in jail: the former teacher was arrested after biting the buttocks of a 14 year-old girl who was swimming in Lake Lanier this past July 4. Herbert, who lost his job as a Gwinnett County school teacher after the incident, was charged with sexual battery, child cruelty, and public drunkenness.

Gwinnett County School officials say Herbert was teacher at Snellville Middle School for two years.

It's not the first time he's been accused of having too much to drink while out in a public place.

Johnson found Gwinnett County jail records that show police arrested Herbert in May of 2016 on DUI and drug charges. Police said he was speeding and was in possession of marijuana.
