The Boat Trip That Sank a Career: Jayson Tatlock PCA Part 2
Trust shattered in an instant. The Jayson Tatlock case reveals the devastating consequences when school authority figures cross unthinkable boundaries with students under their care.
This episode unpacks the troubling relationship between Jayson Tatlock, a 45-year-old school resource officer with extensive law enforcement experience, and a 17-year-old Bloomington North High School student. What began as casual office visits morphed into something far more sinister when Tatlock took the student on a private fishing trip, purchasing alcohol for her and initiating multiple instances of inappropriate physical contact.
Through detailed analysis of police interviews and the probable cause affidavit, we explore how Tatlock attempted to minimize his actions when confronted by investigators. The timeline becomes particularly disturbing when we learn about the text messages his wife sent him the morning of the fishing trip—including a Bible verse about resisting sinful temptations—which he completely ignored while waiting for the student with his boat ready.
The case raises profound questions about professional boundaries, positions of trust, and how quickly seemingly innocent interactions can escalate into criminal behavior. We examine the charges filed against Tatlock (child seduction as a Level 6 felony, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and misdemeanor battery) and discuss the likelihood of various legal outcomes given similar cases we've covered.

I'm glad you tuned in with us.
00:01:16.709 --> 00:01:18.314
I heard you going through some kind of cool songs there earlier.
00:01:18.314 --> 00:01:18.837
With me always is Julie.
00:01:18.837 --> 00:01:19.599
How are you doing today?
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:20.542
Babe, I'm good.
00:01:20.542 --> 00:01:21.322
How are you?
00:01:21.322 --> 00:01:23.227
Let's get right back into it.
00:01:23.287 --> 00:01:32.611
We got a little bit more of the victim's stuff that we wanted to talk about and she had went back to his office to kind of talk to him.
00:01:32.611 --> 00:01:48.280
I guess she'd had a day or two to think about it and he was still at his office where she went to his office and she ended up basically telling him that she wanted to end the relationship type thing that they had together, that she wanted to end the relationship type thing that they had together.
00:01:48.280 --> 00:02:04.588
She had told him that she was kind of embarrassed and confused about the situation and you know she didn't want him to get in trouble and that basically she thought that it was all her fault and she wanted it to go back to the student resource officer relationship no more secretive bullshit going on.
00:02:04.588 --> 00:02:08.290
And she said at that point in time his fucking face turned red.
00:02:08.290 --> 00:02:10.768
I bet it was about the fucking pop.
00:02:11.242 --> 00:02:12.800
And he didn't respond to her at all.
00:02:12.819 --> 00:02:13.965
He didn't respond to that shit.
00:02:14.026 --> 00:02:21.868
no, Now she recalled that she was blaming herself and Tatlock told her that it was not her fault.
00:02:21.868 --> 00:02:27.508
She said that she reassured Tatlock that she was not going to tell anybody.
00:02:27.508 --> 00:02:36.050
You know what had happened and he responded with the effect of saying at this state in my life, it wouldn't even matter.
00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:49.513
She recalled reassuring him some more that what they did would be kept between them and made some dismissive statements about being influenced by consuming alcohol.
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.128
She was giving him excuses and making excuses.
00:02:52.983 --> 00:02:54.427
Trying to make him feel better, yeah.
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.551
And probably trying to make it sound right about what the fuck happened in her mind.
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:20.790
Well, she told him that she was going to give him some time to process you know what they had just talked about and exited his office and she was walking backwards out the door and she recalled telling him that she hoped he wasn't mad at her and he responded back you know that he wasn't mad at all.
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:26.948
After the victim had kind of went through the story, the interviewer wanted to go back and re-hit some of the bullet points.
00:03:26.948 --> 00:03:35.225
And the interviewer wanted to know more about the conversations that they had about the masturbation shit.
00:03:35.225 --> 00:03:46.274
And basically she said that he had asked her some weird fucking questions about what she used and if she did it and all kinds of weird shit.
00:03:46.274 --> 00:03:49.390
But we're not going to go into all that because it's irrelevant.
00:03:49.390 --> 00:03:54.706
Yeah, but she said there was different instances other than the ones that she spoke of before.
00:03:54.706 --> 00:04:03.137
There was an occasion where she wore some luluman style lulu lemon oh, lulu lemon, that's right.
00:04:03.157 --> 00:04:05.786
you said that shit to me the other day and I was like what are you talking about?
00:04:05.786 --> 00:04:11.526
It was like a tennis outfit type shit or something I never fucking heard of Lulu Lemon.
00:04:11.700 --> 00:04:13.038
It's like a fab athletic workout.
00:04:13.260 --> 00:04:21.209
I thought that was like some Korean cartoon character or something Anyway, with spandex shorts and kind of a longer shirt.
00:04:21.209 --> 00:04:22.591
Is that what Lulu Lemon is?
00:04:22.591 --> 00:04:33.528
But she recalled that Tatlock and Officer Braden was in the office and she said that Tatlock told her that it was so hard to stare, not to stare at her ass when the other cop was in there.
00:04:37.362 --> 00:04:39.541
He said that that's what she said.
00:04:39.541 --> 00:04:40.665
He said shit.
00:04:40.665 --> 00:04:49.773
She did tell the interviewer that she believed that Officer Braden may have been suspicious of the relationship between her and Tatlock.
00:04:49.773 --> 00:04:57.913
She also believed that Braden may have confronted Tatlock about him taking her out to lunch by himself.
00:04:57.913 --> 00:05:00.187
But he was like dude, what the fuck are you doing?
00:05:00.187 --> 00:05:05.788
Why the fuck are you taking that girl to lunch in the fucking fucking cop?
00:05:05.788 --> 00:05:06.067
Car?
00:05:07.110 --> 00:05:09.413
or the school resource car, whatever it is.
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.807
I'm sure they call it the school cop car or whatever Cool kids call it nowadays.
00:05:14.721 --> 00:05:24.954
She also stated that while riding in the school cop car with Tatlock, he always urged her to stay quiet whenever he took phone calls.
00:05:24.954 --> 00:05:28.579
He always urged her to stay quiet whenever he took phone calls.
00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:36.543
She also stated that she never witnessed him acting weird with other students or being inappropriate, and basically that's what the victim had said.
00:05:36.543 --> 00:05:37.925
I mean there's a few more things.
00:05:37.925 --> 00:05:47.716
He asked her about a couple of apps on her phone that it's not really interesting to discuss and kind of maybe a little bit private, but he asked her if she deleted anything off her phone.
00:05:47.716 --> 00:05:52.444
She told him what she had deleted, what she hadn't deleted.
00:05:52.444 --> 00:05:59.550
She provided the Gmail app or the Gmail email deal that they were the address that she and him was communicating through.
00:05:59.550 --> 00:06:05.889
So let's get to the part where I've been dying to check out what Tatlock's got to say about this shit.
00:06:05.889 --> 00:06:10.291
I mean, he's a former Monroe County deputy, owen County deputy.
00:06:10.291 --> 00:06:15.490
He worked for the investigator as the Monroe County from the Monroe County prosecutor's office.
00:06:16.913 --> 00:06:20.723
Public defender yeah public defender's office and he's a he.
00:06:21.064 --> 00:06:21.887
Seymour police.
00:06:22.088 --> 00:06:22.870
Seymour police.
00:06:22.870 --> 00:06:25.863
He's either helps, he helps.
00:06:25.863 --> 00:06:32.382
He helps with sexual misconduct classes or yeah, he did he.
00:06:33.665 --> 00:06:35.449
It's in the probable cause affidavit.
00:06:35.449 --> 00:06:39.142
I guess he assisted with one, so he knows what's going on.
00:06:39.163 --> 00:06:44.471
So let's see what this dude had to say when the police called up with him and asked him what the fuck.
00:06:45.012 --> 00:07:03.305
On June 21st 2024, detective Springston, with the company of Detective Arthur and Detective Wilson, attempted to make contact with Tatlock via his phone number while they were all at the Spencer Police Department.
00:07:03.305 --> 00:07:14.908
He did not answer the call and I left a voicemail stating my name and law enforcement title and told him that I'd like an opportunity to speak with him.
00:07:14.908 --> 00:07:21.343
I told him I was currently at the Spencer Police Department and provided my telephone number for a call back.
00:07:21.343 --> 00:07:26.011
Now, around 130 pm.
00:07:26.011 --> 00:07:36.637
I followed up this call by sending a text message to Tatlock and it said hey, jason, it's the detective from DNR.
00:07:36.637 --> 00:07:38.401
Did you get my voicemail by chance?
00:07:38.401 --> 00:07:45.834
Shortly thereafter, tatlock called him back and they spoke briefly over the phone.
00:07:45.834 --> 00:07:58.569
He initially stated he did not want to come into the station to speak with me and I explained further the reason I'd like to speak with him and he asked if he could think about it for a little bit.
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:05.870
I bet when he got that text message and that phone call he was like fuck it's Chris man, the fucking DNR dude.
00:08:05.870 --> 00:08:07.867
We was on the water, I'm fucked.
00:08:07.867 --> 00:08:11.867
They're at the Spencer Police Department, I guarantee he was a fucking nervous wreck.
00:08:12.819 --> 00:08:16.446
I bet he about shit his pants yeah dude was like hey, jason it's.
00:08:16.545 --> 00:08:18.711
you know it's dude from the DNR.
00:08:18.711 --> 00:08:19.944
You know who the fuck it is.
00:08:19.944 --> 00:08:23.983
I bet he was like motherfucker, I'm hit.
00:08:23.983 --> 00:08:33.535
I bet he had a heart attack sitting right there as he should have though I wonder if he called Chris and the DNR officer and was like, hey, buddy, what's going on?
00:08:33.535 --> 00:08:37.280
Like nothing was fucking happening Well.
00:08:37.642 --> 00:08:43.346
So I can't even believe they called him.
00:08:43.346 --> 00:08:48.048
And why didn't they just show up like do a pop-up and be like what's up?
00:08:48.048 --> 00:08:59.557
They would have showed up on me, they wouldn't have just called, I mean, if I did something wrong and I had a warrant or was going through an investigation.
00:08:59.557 --> 00:09:02.427
Yeah, they wouldn't have called me, they would have just come out here.
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:10.145
Left a voicemail or shot me a text hey bro, hit me up, type shit, no, fuck, no, obviously, I'm pretty sure.
00:09:10.145 --> 00:09:13.490
I mean they probably were aware of each other.
00:09:13.490 --> 00:09:17.010
If they didn't know each other, they probably knew each other in a professional manner.
00:09:17.010 --> 00:09:18.085
I'm sure of it, man.
00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:28.868
Well, Tatlock confirmed that he was at home and the detective told him that he was currently at the Spencer Police Department.
00:09:28.868 --> 00:09:30.974
And to think about it and then get back with him with the decision.
00:09:30.974 --> 00:09:35.326
The detective thanked him and Tatlock did the same.
00:09:35.986 --> 00:09:36.769
Well, guess what?
00:09:36.769 --> 00:09:42.767
Right after that, they did what you said they should do in the first place they just showed up at his house.
00:09:42.767 --> 00:09:55.051
The detectives showed up at Tatlock's residence located around Owen County, Indiana, and it should be noted that this interaction was recorded by the body-worn camera.
00:09:55.051 --> 00:10:07.610
They made contact and they introduced themselves and they told Tatlock that they weren't trying to coerce him into speaking with them, but rather they was offering him an opportunity to tell his side of the story.
00:10:07.610 --> 00:10:15.370
Well, Tatlock responded by saying well, quote, I guess, just file whatever and I'll just deal with it in court.
00:10:17.020 --> 00:10:20.940
Tatlock also asked if he was going to be read his Miranda warning.
00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:23.408
The detective advised that he would.
00:10:23.408 --> 00:10:28.945
And then Tatlock asked if he could have a public defender present to assist him.
00:10:28.945 --> 00:10:46.249
The detective advised him that he didn't think that it was possible to get a public defender to come to his house in that moment to assist him while speaking with me, the detective asked Tatlock what his thoughts were about speaking with the detectives while they were at his home.
00:10:47.059 --> 00:10:54.673
Tatlock advised that his wife and son were home and the detective offered to make a phone call to talk about trying to get a public defender to represent him.
00:10:54.673 --> 00:11:06.855
He advised Tatlock that he would read the Miranda warning and presented a Mirandized waiver form to be used as documentation.
00:11:06.855 --> 00:11:14.669
The detective also told Tatlock that if at any other point after being Mirandized that if he wasn't comfortable talking, he could just tell the detective.
00:11:14.669 --> 00:11:23.150
They continued conversing and he advised him that he had learned that he resigned from his position as a school resource officer.
00:11:23.150 --> 00:11:26.583
Tatlock explained that he felt like he wasn't given due process.
00:11:26.583 --> 00:11:28.005
Take the school vehicle back.
00:11:36.441 --> 00:11:38.105
Well, this is two weeks.
00:11:38.105 --> 00:11:57.750
After the incident, like three days to the day after the incident and we know it was reported on the 18th of June, so three days before this it was reported, so something happened within that time.
00:11:59.261 --> 00:12:05.068
They made him resign, and he wouldn't even take the vehicle back, so he already knew he was in some shit.
00:12:05.802 --> 00:12:09.447
Yeah, but he's complaining about due process when he knows everything that he's done.
00:12:09.587 --> 00:12:11.802
Right, and I bet you he.
00:12:11.802 --> 00:12:16.768
If he was a cop, though, why would you be like are you going to read me my Miranda rights?
00:12:16.768 --> 00:12:22.423
You always hear people say, oh, I got out of this case because they didn't read me my rights.
00:12:22.423 --> 00:12:27.432
You'd think he would have waited for the motherfuckers not to read him and maybe try to get out of it or something.
00:12:27.432 --> 00:12:28.113
You know what I mean.
00:12:28.113 --> 00:12:28.874
He reminded him.
00:12:28.874 --> 00:12:30.176
I don't know, it's irrelevant.
00:12:30.660 --> 00:12:31.806
I don't think he's that smart.
00:12:32.660 --> 00:12:40.552
But anyway, they did give him his Miranda and they ended up saying they were going to have the interview in the garage.
00:12:40.552 --> 00:12:46.921
Tatlock opened up the garage and got a drink in the garage.
00:12:46.921 --> 00:12:49.606
Tatlock opened up the garage and got a drink and he offered the detectives some water and they declined.
00:12:49.606 --> 00:12:53.442
They situated the chairs in preparation for the interview and they discussed it.
00:12:53.442 --> 00:12:57.712
It was all going to be recorded on body cam and we're going to get right into it.
00:12:57.712 --> 00:12:59.943
Here we go Right off the bat.
00:12:59.943 --> 00:13:05.254
The detectives asked Tatlock if they knew what they were there for and what they wanted to talk about.
00:13:05.254 --> 00:13:17.594
He stated that yeah, I took the girl on a fishing trip and that was probably a violation of school policy for an employee to be alone with a student outside of school to go on a fishing trip.
00:13:18.841 --> 00:13:33.679
He advised that he had last work on Monday, june 17th and Tuesday, june 18th, so he was working the day that the victim had disclosed everything in the day that everything was reported.
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.845
He worked that day.
00:13:34.845 --> 00:13:45.235
When asked, tatlock said that he had taken the victim on a fishing trip on Tuesday, a couple of weeks prior.
00:13:45.235 --> 00:13:50.231
This corroborated the victim's description of the date and the fishing trip.
00:13:50.231 --> 00:13:57.989
He indicated that on that date he and the victim went fishing at Cataract Lake and launched from the Cunot boat ramp.
00:13:57.989 --> 00:14:03.111
He agreed that he and the victim met up at the school to depart for the trip.
00:14:04.241 --> 00:14:16.701
After being directed to explain how their interactions began at Bloomington High School North, tatlock said that the victim was a student who would hang out, cut up and eat snacks in his SRO office at the school.
00:14:16.701 --> 00:14:25.405
He stated that he first met the victim during the first week of the 2023-2024 school year.
00:14:25.405 --> 00:14:31.591
Tatlock then reviewed his law enforcement employment history with me.
00:14:31.591 --> 00:14:45.965
He confirmed that prior to working as an SRO with Bloomington North, he was employed as a police officer with both Seymour Indiana Police Department and the Monroe County Sheriff's Department Seymour, indiana Police Department and the Monroe County Sheriff's Department.
00:14:45.965 --> 00:14:50.629
Tatlock added later that he is also employed as an investigator for the Public Defender's Office.
00:14:50.629 --> 00:14:55.875
After working for Monroe County Sheriff's Department.
00:14:55.875 --> 00:15:02.100
He stated that he had also worked as a deputy for the Owen County Sheriff's Department.
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:02.201
Damn.
00:15:02.201 --> 00:15:04.402
So this dude's been a fucking cop everywhere.
00:15:05.042 --> 00:15:06.121
For a long time.

This kind of sucks man.
00:17:01.027 --> 00:17:07.046
Other than all this, I really hope no other shit comes out about this dude and he gets his shit together.
00:17:07.046 --> 00:17:09.936
You know what I mean, because I mean you're a cop for that long.
00:17:09.936 --> 00:17:14.750

Seems like he's kind of trying to mentor kids and shit.
00:17:17.865 --> 00:17:25.568
It's just this one girl man got the best of him when his maybe he's going through some kind of life crisis or something.
00:17:25.588 --> 00:17:26.791
Cryphus, cryphus.

00:18:23.102 --> 00:18:23.984
Probably nothing.
00:18:24.516 --> 00:18:29.027
So the detective wants to discuss the topic of hall passes.
00:18:29.027 --> 00:18:56.101

00:18:56.701 --> 00:18:57.564
That's forgery.
00:18:57.564 --> 00:19:00.288

00:21:12.865 --> 00:21:18.548

00:22:27.721 --> 00:22:40.917
He stated that he did not feel like the victim had a crush on him until lately, saying that he had figured that out on the day he took the victim on the fishing trip.
00:22:40.917 --> 00:22:58.148
He felt that his interactions with the victim would not best be categorized as flirtatious, rather described his relationship with the victim more like your buddy who you just hung around.
00:22:59.535 --> 00:23:08.650
Tatlock did say that he felt like he was kind of a father figure towards the victim and he said that he has told her that if she needed anything he was there for her.
00:23:08.650 --> 00:23:25.076
They asked Tatlock if he had been had, you know, training on as an SR officer how to handle officer student relations, officer-student relations.
00:23:25.076 --> 00:23:28.766
He said that he probably did and he mentioned that it also should be common sense quote-unquote on how to handle those situations.
00:23:28.766 --> 00:23:34.500
I agree common sense should tell you that you don't fucking hang out Hindsight's 20-20 in.
00:23:34.734 --> 00:23:35.436
Absolutely.
00:23:35.436 --> 00:23:43.582
The officer suggested that there was a male student and the victim had been competing for his attention during the school year.
00:23:43.582 --> 00:23:46.903
Tatlock said that those two would kind of bicker back and forth.
00:23:46.903 --> 00:23:49.981
You know, it was probably like I'm his favorite, no, I'm his favorite.
00:23:50.115 --> 00:23:51.741
It was exactly like that.
00:23:51.835 --> 00:23:53.781
No, he likes me more than he likes you, type shit.
00:23:54.063 --> 00:23:54.324
Yeah.
00:23:55.556 --> 00:24:02.337
When asked if he felt that he needed to set boundaries with the victim, tatlock said no, this is quote.
00:24:02.337 --> 00:24:14.459
No, I mean, like I said, like the last, probably last week of school she came around probably a little bit more than normal, but I mean so did the male student.
00:24:14.459 --> 00:24:18.327
I think it was just because they had finals and a lot of free time.
00:24:19.295 --> 00:24:29.464
Tatlock agreed that the victim continued to visit him at the school even after school was out of session for the summer, adding that the victim popped in there a couple of times.
00:24:29.464 --> 00:24:39.178

00:24:39.178 --> 00:24:46.318
He believed that the victim visited his office three times after school was out for the summer.
00:24:46.318 --> 00:24:51.108
He agreed that on one of those occasions he took the victim to get a milkshake.
00:24:51.108 --> 00:24:54.182

00:24:54.182 --> 00:25:04.930
He agreed that he took the victim on this trip using the school vehicle and later said that he believed that they went to a Chick-fil-A on this outing to get a milkshake.
00:25:04.930 --> 00:25:10.228
He felt that this trip lasted approximately 20 minutes and occurred in the afternoon hours.
00:25:10.228 --> 00:25:22.424
He advised that he had a Facebook and Instagram social media accounts and admitted he had looked the victim up on Instagram in her presence and at her direction to view some of her photos she had posted on the account.
