Athens Police Capt. Marty Bruce says a man arrested for driving under the influence faces additional charges after attempting to bribe two police officers to "go away."

Hector Gonzalez Matos was charged Monday after officers Josh Garlen and Cortny Barksdale responded to a call about a fight.

He initially offered the officers $20 and then $100.
