LEXINGTON, Ky. — [A Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting analysis](https://www.lpm.org/investigate/2026-03-31/digging-in-school-arrest-under-scrutiny) reveals significant discrepancies between what [Jefferson County Public Schools](https://www.jefferson.kyschools.us/) officials initially reported and what body camera footage shows from the arrest of a man at Central High School in March.

[WDRB reporter Adi Schanie's investigation](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html) found that school administrators' account of the March 4 incident contradicts the officer's own body camera recording. The district initially told families that [a suspicious male was arrested at gunpoint "outside our campus,"](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html) but video evidence shows the arrest occurred inside the school's security checkpoint area.

According to the body camera footage, [Derrick Mosley, 33, was buzzed into the locked school doors by office staff before the officer encountered him.](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html) [Mosley identifies himself as a parent](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html) and claims his daughter attends the school, though [he does not appear in the district's parent records.](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html)

The arrest citation states that Mosley "ran past" the officer, but the video shows he walked ahead through the doors after being buzzed in. [Police officers drew their weapons because they could not determine whether he was armed.](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html) [Mosley was charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html) and has pleaded not guilty.

[The March 4 encounter prompted a brief lockdown at the school.](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html) [JCPS says it is now reviewing the school's buzzer entry process](https://www.wdrb.com/news/education/body-camera-video-raises-questions-about-arrest-at-gunpoint-inside-louisville-high-school/article_337115bc-4959-47f3-b172-749d35c98a58.html) following the incident.

[All 72 JCPS police officers wear body cameras.](https://www.wdrb.com/wdrb-investigates/jcps-records-show-hundreds-of-arrests-by-districts-police-force-in-recent-years/article_9adc63d0-344b-4980-8098-68c167454654.html) The discrepancy highlights how investigative reporting into body camera footage can reveal gaps between official statements and actual events, particularly when schools send minimal details to families about security incidents.
