The family friend who authorities said ran over Usher’s stepson while piloting a jet ski on Lake Lanier was arrested last week, one day after a Hall County grand jury indicted him on charges including homicide by vessel.
Jeffrey Simon’s arrest comes nearly eight months after the death of 11-year-old Kile Glover, who was tubing with a 15-year-old girl when they were struck by Hubbard’s jet ski. Kile was unresponsive when pulled from the water and died of heart failure after spending nearly two weeks in a coma.
The 15-year-old sustained minor injuries. The 11-year-old was the son of Tameka Foster and Ryan Glover, president of Bounce TV and a former executive with Turner Broadcasting. Foster married Usher after her marriage to Glover dissolved, the two later divorced after having two sons.
