Arab High School’s head football coach has been charged with sending obscene photos to a male student, according to the Arab Police Department.
Arab Police Spokesperson said Lee Ozmint was arrested on April 25 and charged with being a school employee and distributing or soliciting obscene material to or from a student under the age of 19.
That charge is a Class-A misdemeanor in the state of Alabama.

The school system released a statement on social media on Thursday night, saying it was made aware earlier this week of “unprofessional and inappropriate” communication between an Arab High School teacher and a student.
It added that it isn’t sharing the name of the teacher or student involved at this time.
