Dallas Senior Corporal Arrested on Felony Assault Charge

Senior Corporal Scott Jay, a nearly 28-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department and member of the Canine Unit, surrendered to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department on July 30, 2025, following an arrest warrant for a second-degree felony aggravated assault charge involving bodily injury. The department has placed Jay on administrative leave and is conducting an internal investigation to determine if any policy violations occurred in connection with the incident. Details about the assault, including timing, location, and the victim, have not been disclosed by the police. In addition to Jay's case, the Dallas Police Department recently terminated two other employees—Police Dispatch Analyst Kenyon Campbell for causing a workplace disturbance and Police Officer Jason Brower for failing to meet training requirements and exhibiting work indifference—following disciplinary hearings finalized by Police Chief Daniel Comeaux. These disciplinary actions highlight ongoing accountability measures within the department.
