Summary
Tracy police arrested 48-year-old Jeffrey Pribble on Friday after determining a cellphone secretly recording students in a Tracy High School locker room belonged to him.
Students found the phone on Thursday while changing, stopped the recording, deleted the video and gave the device to a teacher; a parent then contacted police that evening.
Tracy Unified School District placed Pribble on leave pending separate criminal and district investigations, while the school told parents it was cooperating fully with police.
Pribble has been Tracy High's varsity football head coach for five years and has 22 years of experience in the district, according to school and social media records.
Police and school officials said the case has sharpened concerns over student privacy and safety, crediting students, parents and staff for bringing the incident forward quickly.
