GRAYSON, Ky. — What began as a routine complaint about golf balls being sold near the entrance of Grayson Lake Golf Course quickly became the subject of community discussion after scanner traffic from the incident circulated online.
According to scanner traffic, Kentucky State Police were contacted after golf course officials reported that an individual was selling golf balls near the entrance to the course. The original dispatch described the person as a juvenile and indicated that park officials wanted law enforcement to make contact because the sales activity was not permitted on the property.
As the incident gained attention on social media, additional details emerged suggesting the situation may have been more complicated than the initial scanner report indicated.
Members of the Carter County Connected scanner group reported that the individuals involved were allegedly adults who had set up near the golf course without authorization. According to comments posted in the group, golf course personnel had reportedly asked the sellers to relocate on multiple occasions before requesting assistance from law enforcement.
Other commenters noted that the individuals later moved farther down the roadway, though nearby property owners reportedly objected to the new location as well. One social media commenter stated that law enforcement was asked to make additional patrols in the area in case the sellers returned.
At this time, it remains unclear exactly who was involved or whether the original report identifying the seller as a juvenile was accurate. No arrests, citations, or criminal charges have been reported in connection with the incident.
The Morehead Minute contacted Grayson Lake Golf Course seeking clarification and comment regarding the matter, including whether the individuals were on golf course property and what specific policies may have been violated. As of publication, no response had been received.
While the incident itself appears to have been minor, the public reaction highlighted how quickly scanner traffic can generate concern—particularly when reports involve children. The discussion also serves as a reminder that scanner traffic often reflects preliminary information relayed to dispatchers and may not always tell the complete story.
Should Grayson Lake Golf Course or park officials provide additional information, The Morehead Minute will update this story.
