Zach Mettenberger's attorney said he pled guilty to two counts of misdemeanor sexual battery for inappropriate touching dating back to a March 7 incident at a Remerton, Georgia bar, according to Southern Judicial Circuit district attorney J. David Miller.
“The sexual battery counts were the result of Mettenberger grabbing the breasts and touching the buttocks of the victim,” Miller said in an e-mail to Tim Tucker and the AJC.
Mettenberger is now responsible for the following:
A) He was sentenced to "two concurrent 12-month periods of probation under the First Offender act..."
B) Gets to pay $35 per month for a probation supervision fee and a fine of $2,000- totalling $2,840- if our math is correct.
Mettenberger also cannot drink any alcohol. He can't be at a place where alcohol is sold. He's banished from the city of Valdosta and cannot have any contact with the victim.
The other charges in the case were dropped in light of the specs laid out by the Lowndes County DA.
Mettenberger also released a statement that can be read here...

UGA's Logan Gray "Weighing Options"
University of Georgia Associate Athletic Director Claude Felton is confirming that Logan Gray, the only scholarship backup behind quarterback Aaron Murray, met with head football coach Mark Richt on Monday.
Felton's issued a statement in response to rumors Gray may transfer from Georgia. He says Gray is "weighing options for the remainder of his career." Felton adds Gray's "status has not changed."
Murray, a freshman, ended spring practice as the Number one QB after Richt kicked Oconee County High graduate Zach Mettenberger off the team for violating team rules.
Richt previously suspended Mettenberger for one game after Mettenberger's arrest on alcohol charges. Mettenberger participated in the Bulldogs G-Day contest, but only played with projected second-team athletes in the game. He was removed from the team the next day.
Incoming freshman and Lassiter High School ((GA)) quarterback Hutson Mason is slated to be the third QB on the UGA roster. Butler ((NC)) High quarterback Christian LeMay is set to announce his plans for his "finalists" on April 30th.
Georgia is in the running for LeMay along with Clemson, Auburn, Texas A&M, and Notre Dame. There is talk on the remainder of the southern fried blogosphere that Gray is considering a move to Division II Valdosta State.
Here's some highlights of Gray, Mettenberger, and the rest of the Dawgs from G-Day

BREAKING NEWS: Scratch Mettenberger from UGA
***BREAKING NEWS****
It appears as though the 3-way competition to be the starting quarterback at the University of Georgia is now down to 2.
The school announced today that Coach Mark Richt has dismissed redshirt Freshman Zach Mettenberger from the team.
Mettenberger had been arrested recently in the south Georgia town of Remerton for underage consumption and/or possession of alcohol, disorderly conduct, obstruction and two counts of having false identification back in early March. While bad, they would not under normal circumstances be enough to hasten his departure.
The release, did not go into details, You can read what ajc.com had to say...RIGHT HERE
Mettenberger was just involved in this year's G-Day Game at Sanford Stadium, so this does seem a bit odd in the timing department.
((HT: CSS/HerschelTalker))
6PM UPDATE: Tim Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution caught up with Associate Athletic Director Claude Felton late Sunday afternoon. Felton told Tucker that “there was not a new incident involving Zach.” He said Richt informed Mettenberger today that he would be dismissed from the team.
From Tucker's updates, again...
8PM UPDATE: Reached by the AJC on his cell phone Sunday night, Mettenberger said: “I’m not going to talk to you, sir.” Asked if he wanted to address the dismissal, Mettenberger replied: “No thank you.”
So, was G-Day an audition for anyone willing to chase after the currently-troubled Oconee County High grad...??? Looks that way...
Wonder if Jacksonville State would bite again on a quarterback with the alleged baggage Mettenberger has...???

A police report says he's charged with underage consumption and possession of alcohol, possessing fake identification and disorderly conduct-obstruction.
The 18-year-old Mettenberger is a redshirt freshman from Oconee County ((the Watkinsville area just outside of Athens)). The University of Georgia is on spring break, and the HQ is fairly certain who the starting QB will be now...
