UGA Student Injured as Man in Nazi Uniform Is Arrested on Aggravated Assault Charge in Athens

UGA denounced the attack as antisemitic and said the suspect is not affiliated with the school.

Overview

  • Video shows Kenneth Leland Morgan striking student Grace Lang with a glass pitcher during a confrontation outside Cutter's Pub, leaving her with a broken nose and stitches.
  • Athens-Clarke County records indicate he was booked early Oct. 24 on felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor simple battery after being denied entry to the bar.
  • Initial jail listings showed a $1,500 bond for the battery count and no bond for aggravated assault; later legal documents reviewed by TMZ set bail at $15,000 with stay-away and alcohol restrictions.
  • The university said counselors are assisting students and emphasized that the criminal case concerns the alleged assault, as wearing Nazi symbols is not prohibited by Georgia law.
  • A GiveSendGo fundraiser and posts by far-right figure Paul Miller claimed Morgan’s bail was covered, a developing assertion that has not been independently verified.
