Former Arab High football coach Lee Ozmint pleaded guilty on Monday to misdemeanor charges of being a school employee distributing or soliciting obscene material to or from a student under the age of 19.

Ozmint’s next court appearance will be Feb. 10, 2025, according to an Arab Muncipal Court employee.

He received a suspended sentence of 180 days in jail, and was assigned to a pretrial diversion program. The Arab Tribune reported there is no evidence Ozmint and the student had any contact.

Ozmint resigned as coach in April one day after he was arrested.

He had been the head coach at Arab since 2019. He led the team to a 38-18 overall record and four straight playoff appearances. His 2022 Arab team went 11-2 and lost at Pleasant Grove in two overtimes in the Class 5A state quarterfinals.

He also spent 10 years as the head coach at Glencoe High from 2006-2015, accumulating a 77-37 record. He led the Yellow Jackets to seven straight playoff appearances.

A native of Anderson, S.C., Ozmint played football at Alabama and eventually earned a law degree. He served as a lawyer in Tuscaloosa and Gadsden before moving into coaching.
