The AJC reports 30 year-old Jonathan William Herbert of Dacula issued the first offender plea to charges of battery, public drunkenness, and bribery stemming from his attempts to pay a Hall County deputy to not arrest him.
 
Northeastern Judicial Circuit District Attorney Lee Darragh dropped the charges of sexual battery against a child under 16 and second-degree cruelty to children in the July 4th incident.
 
Herbert will spend 30 days in jail and 4 years on probation.
