About a year ago, a woman called 911 reporting that a man had exposed himself to her in Daniel Boone Park, located in Charleston, West Virginia. She told the responding officer that she recognized the man from TV. As it turns out, it was Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper. Within days of the incident, Mr. Carper’s family told the media that he had a heart attack and the allegations were just an “awful misunderstanding” related to a health emergency.

In the ensuing year, Mr. Carper remained on the county commission, while the public was kept far, far away from the bodycam footage documenting the incident. Now the footage has been released. It shows that the responding officer began the coverup from the very first minute.
