GLENNVILLE, GEORGIA - Two staff members from Claxton Elementary School were arrested, according to a press release from the Evans County School System.

The release also states the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has an active investigation related to this matter.

The GBI, in a separate release, says it has arrested and charged Tanesha E. Herrington, age 47, of Claxton, Georgia, and Courtney Anne Dutton, age 37, of Glennville, Georgia, following a child abuse investigation at Claxton Elementary School.

Herrington has been charged with eight counts of Cruelty to Children in the First Degree, and Dutton has been charged with one count of Failure to Report Child Abuse.

Leona Berry says her two twins attend Claxton Elementary. She says she learned Friday that both of them have been seen on video being abused by Herrington.
