Part-time Pennsylvania police officer arrested after taking inappropriate photos, videos of children at YMCA​

[A mom confronts him.] However, the man denied taking any pictures or videos, refused to identify himself and refused to show his phone. The mother then reported the incident to the YMCA lifeguards, who approached the suspect and asked for identification.

The lifeguard said the suspect refused to identify himself, but instead showed his police badge.

Investigators said the videos appeared to be taken by Mackrell, who can be heard making sexual comments about the juveniles in multiple videos.

According to the affidavit, Mackrell also serves as a youth monitor at Abraxas Academy, a multi-service facility offering secure residential treatment and detention services in Morgantown, Pennsylvania.
