MILTON, Ga. (AP) — The principal of Milton High School has resigned after sheriff's deputies arrested him twice within a few hours on charges of drunken driving.

Authorities in Forsyth and Cherokee counties arrested 37-year-old Nathan John Buhl of Canton, who faces DUI charges in both counties.

Forsyth County Deputy Robin Regan says Buhl is accused of leaving the scene of a crash in northern Forsyth County shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday.

Deputies say Buhl was also involved in a crash in Cherokee County, and was hospitalized after that wreck.

It was not known early Thursday whether Buhl has an attorney.

WSB-TV reports (http://on-ajc.com/1rKFFLe) that Buhl resigned as principal of Milton High on Wednesday, saying in an email that he was humbled and ashamed "after making the worst decisions of my life Saturday night."
