MOULTRIE — A Colquitt man faces child molestation charges after Colquitt County school officials passed along a girl’s report of being fondled by the friend of a family member.

Police got involved in the case on Feb. 7 when the information was forwarded by the girl’s school.

A teacher saw the 11-year-old crying in the cafeteria on Feb. 6 and asked why she was crying, Moultrie Police Department Inv. Freddie Williams said.

“She told her a relative’s boyfriend had been rubbing on her and tried to touch her private area,” Williams said.

The teacher had the girl talk with a school counselor, who contacted police.

Tony Eugene Green, 43, of 639 Hoggard Mill Road, Colquitt, was charged with child molestation.

In another incident, police charged Kamareey Keyon Zeigler, 19, 519 Oak Circle, Monday with aggravated assault.

Zeigler is accused of threatening to kill a woman if she did not get back in the car with him at Moultrie Manor in the 400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Inv. Raul Leal said.

Zeigler had a gun in his possession at the time of the incident, he said.
