Jaw-dropping moment on-duty cop began kissing elementary teacher in her classroom before having sex with her
A police officer has been stripped of his badge after kissing an elementary school teacher and engaging in sexual activity inside her classroom. Brian Gilley was barred from ever returning to law enforcement in Tennessee after Lebanon Police Department concluded an internal investigation into his relationship with teacher Shelby Moss on school property at Castle Heights Elementary School. Extraordinary body worn camera captured part of the tryst, including the moment a student walks into the room about two minutes before the pair lock lips. Gilley had previously worked on the D.A.R.E. program educating students on drug prevention, WZTV reported. The incident in question took place in September 2024. Gilley later accepted that students may have still been on campus at the time. The body camera footage is not linked to the September incident which ultimately led to Gilley's resignation. While he initially denied the sexual conduct, he ultimately admitted it and resigned shortly after. Teacher Moss was reportedly in a relationship at the time of the affair with Gilley, according to an investigative report. In April 2025, Gilley pleaded for leniency, telling the board of his decertification hearing: 'I know I've done wrong, but I've also impacted that community in so many ways.' He was ultimately permanently banned from serving in law enforcement again in the state of Tennessee. Moss received a two-day suspension and later resigned. A spokesperson for the school district said: 'The Lebanon Special School District expects all employees to uphold the highest standards of professional conduct at all times. 'In December of 2024 we were made aware that a teacher engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a police officer after hours while on campus. 'The District immediately conducted a thorough investigation and took appropriate disciplinary action in line with our policies and procedures. '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.' And Mike Justice, Chief of Police at the Lebanon Police Department, said: 'Upon receiving a complaint on former officer Brian Gilley, our staff committed to an immediate internal investigation. 'During the investigation, several issues, including serious policy violations, were identified. The policy violations also included being untruthful during the inquiry. '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.'

Man arrested, charged in Dec. crash through Square
A Rutherford County man has been arrested in relation to a high speed crash on the downtown Lebanon Square in December. Evidence from the incident was presented to the Wilson County Grand Jury by the Lebanon Police Department's Traffic Unit, resulting in Brandin Veloz, 21, of Murfreesboro being indicted. Veloz was arrested and booked into the Wilson County Jail Friday, May 30. In the early morning hours of Sunday, Dec. 15, officers responded to the Square and discovered a white Cadillac sped through the center island of the roundabout, narrowly avoiding the Gen. Robert Hatton statue and also just missing the law offices of Lowery, Lowery & Cherry. According to a press release by LPD, Veloz is the alleged driver and was traveling at approximately 89 mph at the point of initial impact. Police said the crash scene stretched more than 700 feet. Debris from the crash shattered the windows of nearby businesses and inflicted other property damage. Veloz and a passenger sustained injuries during the impact. Police believed alcohol was a contributing factor in addition to the nearly 90 mph speed. LPD had a 360-degree camera set up on the square to monitor traffic during the holiday season, which captured video of the crash. Veloz was charged with speeding, reckless endangerment and two counts of DUI. He was released on a $5,000 bond just hours after his booking. He is scheduled for an arraignment hearing on Aug. 11.

'You are the heroes.' Dispatchers celebrated by county officials
This past week was National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, and varying agencies across Wilson County recognized the people who play an important part in the first responder process — dispatchers. Dispatchers are often the first point of contact in an emergency, guiding callers through some of the most stressful and intense moments of their lives. During this, they're able to multitask by relaying vital information to responders. The Wilson County Sheriff's Office, Lebanon Police Department, Lebanon Fire Department and Wilson County Emergency Management Agency took to social media to remind the public that the person behind the headset, the unseen coordinator, is just as vital as any police officer or firefighter. 'Our dispatchers are the invisible lifeline connecting the community to emergency responders,' Wilson County Sheriff Robert Bryan said. 'Their voices guide people through moments of crisis with calm professionalism and compassion, and we are incredibly grateful for the vital role they play in keeping Wilson County safe.' The television drama show "911" is one instance of popular media portraying the job dispatchers do every day, often filled with emotion. The profession can take an emotional toll on each dispatcher, who has to make high-pressure decisions while spending long hours away from their home and family. 'It takes a special kind of person to remain calm in chaos and to be the voice of reassurance for someone in their darkest hour,' Captain Scott Moore, WCSO Public Information Officer, said. 'Our team in the Communications Division is second to none, and we're proud to recognize their commitment during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.' WEMA, in several posts on Facebook, highlighted the individual dispatchers and expressed gratitude for the work they do. LPD informed people that the job doesn't stop during weekends and holidays, as emergencies can happen at any time. 'Behind every siren, every emergency response and every life saved is a calm, steady voice,' MJPD said. 'They are the steady support that helps our officers and first responders stay safe and succeed in protecting Mt. Juliet. Thank you for being the calm in the chaos, the lifeline for our community and the essential force behind every apprehension, every rescue and every call answered. 'You are the heroes.'
