What Exactly Are We Preventing? | ONE Lexington & the Charles Young Park Shooting

A community celebration at Charles Young Park turned deadly on August 15, 2026, when gunfire left five people shot, including a 4-year-old child, a 14-year-old, two adults, and 16-year-old Di’Zhon Robertson, who died from his injuries. In this episode of WTF LEX!?, we look beyond the initial headlines and ask what was happening before the bullets started flying. 18-year-old Jametrius Griffin has been charged with murder, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, and tampering with physical evidence. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held on a $1 million bond. The charges are allegations, and Griffin is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. But this episode isn't just about the criminal case. It's also about ONE Lexington. Di’Zhon reportedly participated in ONE Lexington's No Cap program. ONE Lexington Director Devine Carama was at Charles Young Park when the shooting erupted and described trying to protect young people as gunfire broke out. And reporting and social-media posts following the shooting indicate there may have been a conflict involving people connected to the case that stretched back months. That's where Lexington's own records become important. An LFUCG Internal Audit describes youth conflict mediation, crisis response, and violence-intervention meetings as part of ONE Lexington's work. In 2023 alone, the audit says ONE Lexington facilitated 16 youth conflict mediations involving disputes with the potential to escalate into violence, deployed advocates 31 times, and conducted more than 40 violence-intervention meetings. LFUCG also confirmed through an open-records response that this January 2025 report is the only completed final internal audit of ONE Lexington. So we're asking: Did ONE Lexington know about this conflict before August 15? If they knew, was there an intervention? If they didn't know, why didn't an allegedly months-long conflict reach Lexington's violence-intervention network? And if nobody ever gave ONE Lexington an opportunity to intervene, that's an important answer too. We also examine what Lexington's internal auditors found when they reviewed ONE Lexington—including two high-priority financial-control findings—and the explanations and corrective actions provided by Director Devine Carama. This isn't about blaming ONE Lexington for someone pulling a trigger. It's about examining a taxpayer-funded violence-prevention program against its stated mission and asking a simple question: What exactly are we preventing? WTF LEX!? Real events. Real accountability. Real Lexington.

The Kevin Todd Episode

When public criticism turns into threats of lawsuits, who actually has the facts on their side? In this episode, Greg responds to the Facebook fallout surrounding the previous Keith Todd episode after Keith's twin brother, Kevin Todd, entered the conversation with accusations of slander, legal threats, and demands that the episode be removed. Greg breaks down: The legal definition of slander and why truth matters. The difference between opinion, public records, and defamation. Kevin Todd's Facebook comments and threats of legal action. Keith Todd's ongoing social media interactions and direct messages. The public records already available versus claims made online. Why accountability doesn't end simply because time has passed. The importance of documenting facts instead of rewriting history. The episode also discusses additional open records requests, reactions from listeners, and how public comments often create more questions than answers. As always, this episode contains strong language and commentary. Listeners are encouraged to review the publicly available records and draw their own conclusions.

Keith Todd: From Police to Prison!!

A comment section argument turned into something much bigger. After former Lexington Police officer Keith Todd began commenting on my Facebook posts and contacting me directly, I started digging through public records, court documents, and archived news reports. What I found was a timeline spanning years—from an off-duty alcohol and Ambien incident, to a federal lawsuit against Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, to the 2012 Legacy Trail case involving a seriously injured jogger, and publicly available Brady/Giglio records. In this episode, I separate documented facts from rumors, walk through the available records, and explain why transparency and accountability matter—especially when it involves someone who once wore a badge. Topics discussed include: Keith Todd's documented 2006 off-duty alcohol/Ambien incident. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuit against LFUCG. The court's 2009 ruling. The 2012 Legacy Trail incident. Public Brady/Giglio records. The social media exchange that led to this investigation. Why I filed additional Kentucky Open Records requests with the Lexington Police Department. This episode is based on publicly available court records, news reports, and official documents. Any allegations or claims not supported by public records are clearly identified as unverified and are not presented as fact.

WTF Lex!?: Racism, One Lexington & Accountability

This week, Ole Gerg returns after a short break with a no-holds-barred discussion about one of Lexington's most controversial topics. After being accused online of previously attacking One Lexington and its former leadership years before becoming involved in local media, Greg lays out why he believes those claims are demonstrably false and challenges anyone to produce evidence. The conversation expands into larger issues surrounding race, government-funded organizations, public accountability, transparency, and how political and social divisions affect Lexington. Greg also shares personal experiences that shaped his views on policing, poverty, and race, including encounters with the Lexington Police Department dating back more than two decades. Finally, the episode examines questions surrounding public grant funding, open records requests, and why government-funded organizations should expect public scrutiny.

Trust Us, We Investigated Ourselves

When a citizen files a complaint against a police officer, who investigates the complaint—and who investigates the investigator? In this episode of WTF LEX!?, we take a closer look at Lexington Police Sergeant Weslee Farley, the supervisor who recently determined a complaint against Officer Barrett was "unfounded." Using public records, court documents, news reports, and a Kentucky Attorney General Open Records ruling, we examine Sgt. Farley's public career, his role in a 2014 officer-involved shooting, his involvement in a significant open records dispute, and his current position within the Lexington Police Department. We also discuss the complaint process itself, the department's findings, and why transparency matters when police departments investigate their own officers. This episode isn't about personal attacks—it's about public records, public accountability, and asking questions that deserve answers.
