D.A.R.E. cop stripped of badge after own bodycam catches affair with married teacher
A Tennessee cop who taught the D.A.R.E. drug-prevention program in schools has been stripped of his badge after his body camera caught him getting frisky with a married teacher in her classroom.
Lebanon Police officer Brian Gilley's body cam captured him flirting with teacher Shelby Moss in her Castle Heights Elementary School classroom — and even sharing a long, steamy kiss soon after a student had interrupted them, Fox 17 reported.
The pair later confessed to also having sexual interactions on school grounds — even while the cop accepts kids could still have been on campus.
4 Shelby Moss resigned from her teaching job in May.

Gilley admitted that he had 'done wrong' as he pleaded for leniency at his decertification hearing in April — but was permanently banned from serving in law enforcement in May.
'You engaged in sexual activity at a school as an officer who was supposed to protect children,' said William 'Chip' Kain, the executive secretary of the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training [POST] Commission that voted to oust him.
4 Gilley is barred from working in law enforcement in Tennessee ever again.

The married teacher was suspended and later resigned. The Tennessee State Board of Education is reviewing whether to strip her teaching license.
It is not immediately clear why Gilley's bodycam switched on while he flirted with the married teacher in August last year. It caught them talking about teasing each other, with Gilley telling his mistress, 'You just complain I don't touch you enough.'
'You're the one [who] teases me all night long,' he said, tellingly.
A one point, a student interrupted them. But as soon as the coast was clear, the cheating teacher walked to the cop, embraced him and gave him a big smooch.
'Oh god,' Gilley gasped when they finally separated. 'I'll see you tomorrow,' he added, panting as he walked out the side door.
The sexual activity they admitted to came a month later, but was not caught on bodycam.
Screenshots of text messages between the pair obtained by Fox 17 show them talking about dressing up for Christmas and exchanging 'I love you's.
Police and school officials were tipped off to the relationship in December 2024.

Drug prevention officer exposed by his own bodycam after it records video of his affair with married school teacher
A Tennessee police officer who taught drug prevention to children was betrayed by his own bodycam after it captured him having an affair with a school teacher. Brian Gilley, who has since been dismissed from the Lebanon Police Department, is accused of engaging in sexual activity with Shelby Moss inside school property while on duty. The bodyworn footage, obtained by WZTV, showed the pair kissing in a classroom in August 2024, moments after a child leaves the room. The video was blurred to hide the youngster's identity. Moss worked at the Castle Heights Elementary School, in Lebanon, and Gilley had been assigned to work there as a Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer. The Lebanon Police Department said that a month later in September, another incident took place after classes had ended, during which the two engaged in sexual activity – though there is no footage of that incident. Gilley later said he was unsure whether any students were still on school grounds at the time. According to Fox, Gilley denied the allegations in an internal interview, telling investigators that no sexual contact occurred while he was on duty. But he later admitted to the relationship and resigned soon after. During a decertification hearing in April 2025, Gilley asked for forgiveness, saying: 'I know I've done wrong, but I've also impacted that community in so many ways. It was a mistake and it will never happen again.' He added he was 'very embarrassed' by his conduct. In May 2025, the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission voted to decertify Gilley, who is now barred from serving in law enforcement in the state. In a statement, Lebanon Police Department Chief, Mike Justice, said: 'While Gilley's actions did not align with our department's standards or policies, the conduct was not criminal in nature, did NOT involve children, and did NOT occur in the presence of children or in the classroom. ' 'We hold our officers to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. Gilley's actions fell short of those expectations that our community demands and deserves.' LPD reported that Moss was married at the time of this relationship with Gilley. She received a two-day suspension earlier this year but later resigned in May. A spokesperson for the Lebanon Special School District told Fox Nashville that the district had been made aware 'that a teacher engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a police officer after hours while on campus,' in December 2024. 'The District immediately conducted a thorough investigation and took appropriate disciplinary action in line with our policies and procedures,' the spokesperson said. 'We want to assure our families and community that we take all concerns seriously and act promptly to maintain a safe and respectful learning environment for everyone." Solve the daily Crossword

Felon leads cops on 4-hour long slow motion chase with speeds of 7 mph in stolen car
A police chase went at a snail's pace early Tuesday morning when an armada of cop cars – their sirens blaring and their lights flashing – followed a fleeing felon in Tennessee at speeds as slow as 7 mph, authorities said. Video captured by Fox17 shows the surreal scene as the fleeing suspect, Katlyn Wray, 28, putters along on apocalyptically empty highways in Nashville while a fleet of police cars crawls behind her. When officers finally caught up with Wray and asked why she didn't just pull over, she replied: 'I'm already on paper for ten years anyway,' according to reports. Advertisement Katlyn Wray was accused of causing a slow-speed police chase early Tuesday morning in Nashville. Metropolitan Nashville Police Department The dramatic but slow-as-molasses chase started just after 3 a.m. when Metro Nashville Police officers found Wray asleep behind the wheel of a stolen Nissan Altima, according to reports. As four officers approached, Wray woke up, threw the car in reverse and motored away, according to WTVF. Advertisement Officers laid out two sets of spike strips to catch her. Wray hit both of them, flattening her front and back tires, but that didn't stop her, according to reports. She continued to drive on the flat tires for nearly four hours while cops calmly pursued her – traveling at speeds anywhere from 7 mph to a whopping 15 mph, according to WTVF. Police helicopters hovering overhead joined in the surreal chase. Department policy prohibits Metro police from applying a PIT maneuver, a police tactic used to spin out a fleeing car, according to Fox 17. Instead, the Tennessee Highway Patrol was called in to execute the maneuver. Advertisement Police arrested Wray after a nearly four-hour chase. Texas Department of Transportation Video taken by Fox17 shows the trooper pitting Wray and officers putting her in handcuffs wearing a pair of pink shorts and a hot pink top. Wray is charged with two counts of vehicle theft, reckless endangerment and four counts felony evading arrest for Tuesday's super slow chase, according to reports. She was on probation for a November 2023 forgery conviction, and has an extensive criminal history including convictions for aggravated burglary, cocaine possession, criminal simulation and multiple theft convictions around Tennessee, according to reports.
