A high school girls’ basketball coach in Cobb County, Ga., is facing multiple charges after she allegedly bit another coach in the face twice and threatened to beat the man, even throwing a chair inside a school office, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Melonie Joyce Martin, who coaches the South Cobb High School girls’ team, was standing next to coach Tyrone Harris when she bit him. An assistant principal and two other coaches reportedly witnessed Martin’s actions and threats on Jan. 9.
