Webb, who lives across the street from Cooper, was taken into custody at a nearby residence.
Cooper was flown to UT Medical Center for treatment.
Webb is charged with aggravated assault. He's being held at the Blount County Detention Facility on a $15,000 bond and is scheduled for a court hearing on June 29.
