Jonathan Leroy Ledbetter, year of birth 1997, was booked into the jail at 6:05am ET this morning and charged with DUI Alcohol and Underage Possession/Furnishing Alcohol. He posted bond and was released at 10:24pm ET.

The Athens-Clarke County Police Department is listed as the arresting agency. Bond has been set at $1,500 for the DUI charge and $500 for the underage possession charge.
