A JCPS police officer arrested a man at gunpoint inside Central High School in early March 2026. (WDRB)After a Jefferson County Public Schools police officer arrested a man at Central High School earlier this month, school officials sent a sparsely detailed letter to families that described the even t as something that happened "outside our campus."WDRB reporter Adi Schanie wanted to know more.She asked the district for the officer's body camera footage and found it showed a different story than the one officials initially shared. Schanie details her findings in this installment of the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting's Digging In series. You can read her full report here.This transcript is edited for length and clarity.Jacob Ryan: Let's start by setting the scene. You recently reported on an arrest that happened at Central High School earlier this month. Tell us what happened and what district officials said.Adi Schanie: So initially, we obtained a letter from Central's principal to families saying that there was a suspicious man outside the school, and he was arrested at gunpoint outside of the school. That's as far as we knew. Then I decided to go and get the body camera footage and look a little bit further into it. JR: What did the body camera show?AS: The body camera shows Derek Mosley at the door of Central High School, and you can see the officer a few yards back kind of yell at him, like, 'Hey, stop. What are you doing?' Something along those lines. Derek goes through the door. He's buzzed in though, those doors are locked. You can see later, when the officer comes up, that they're locked. So he's buzzed in by somebody in the office. Once he gets inside, the officer runs after him, pulls out his gun, and then you can see all of the people that are kind of in the foyer of the school, essentially where security is, start to scatter.JR: Now, what is the difference between what school officials have told you and told the public with what the body camera shows?AS: The JCPS police officer says in the arrest citation and when he's talking to other officers in the body camera footage that Derrick Mosley ran past him. We never see Derrick Mosley run past him. He's always ahead of him, the entire time. He yells at him, but he doesn't run past him. He doesn't run really in the video at all. He just kind of walks through the doors. As far as what school officials said, we were told that this happened outside of the school. That's how the whole letter makes it seem that this was all outside of the school campus. When you watch the video, you can see this all goes down right where the security checkpoint area is, which is inside the doors of the school.JR: So what have school officials and district officials said in response to the reporting now that the body camera is out there?AS: They haven't said a whole lot in response. I did reach out to ask, 'Hey, in the video, he says he's a parent. Do you guys have him in your records?' They've said they don't have him in their records as a parent. I've talked to his family. I haven't talked to him. They say his daughter does go to that school, but maybe he's not in their records for some sort of reason. So there is a little bit of a discrepancy there.JR: If you hadn't had looked into it deeper, the official narrative never would have likely have gone unchallenged. So what made you take the second look?AS: I think anytime there's someone arrested at gunpoint at a school, that's something that the parents in the community are going to want to understand what happened. Also, those letters that get sent home to families are generally pretty generic and bare bones, you know. They say what they need to, but not much more. So anytime we get something like that, I try to take the time and figure out what really happened. ...read more read less
