Louisville, KY -- A WHAS-TV employee was cited Tuesday for criminal trespassing after he entered Atherton High School for a story about gaps in school security.
Police cited him at the school.
Station employee Alex Elder, attempting to see if he could walk into the school unnoticed, was let in through a secured door by a student sometime around 11 a.m., according to the police citation, which said all doors have signs posted warning against unauthorized entry.
Elder was approached by an administrator and taken to the office, where he signed in and was directed to the counselor’s office.
When he left in a different direction, he was approached by administrators again and ultimately cited for being in an unauthorized part of the school.
“WHAS decided to create some news instead of report it, so they decided to slide a reporter in and see if they could walk around without someone noticing,” Atherton principal John Hudson said.
WHAS-TV general manager Bob Klingle said Elder wasn’t there illegally, did not lie about his intentions and did not notice any signs barring unauthorized visitors.
Klingle said it was the third time since 2005 the news station has entered schools in an effort to point out gaps in security. He said the station would appeal the citation.
