A Cambria man faces felony charges in Williamson County, after investigators say he had an improper relationship with a minor.
Twenty-seven year old Jeremy Cobb was arrested Thursday morning and booked on suspicion of Indecent Solicitation of a Child, and Grooming.

Prosecutors say Cobb was a Driver's Education Teacher at Carterville High School, and a Freshman Football Coach at Carterville, at the time of the offenses. He is currently on leave from his positions.

State's Attorney Brandon Zanotti says Cobb was booked into the Williamson County Jail, with a $50,000 bond.

Zanotti's office says alleged offenses happened in May and June of this year, and the alleged victim is a student at Carterville High School.

Former WSIU Associate Director of News and Public Affairs Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director.
