At this time-- NO charges have been filed against former high school science teacher and assistant football coach Jarrod (Jer-id) Hines.
But Giles County Sheriff's officials and the West Virginia State police are investigating.
West Virginia authorities are involved because the incidents allegedly occurred at Hines' home in Monroe County.
