The Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department has released a photo from surveillance video footage of a vehicle used in a threat on a Civilian Officer.

According to the department, on Saturday Aug. 29 a Civilian worker with the Buchanan County Detention Center was in the parking lot of Little Caesars on Ashland when an individual in a vehicle pulled out what appeared to be a handgun, yelled the words ‘die pig die’ at her and fired the gun. A shell casing was recovered from the scene.

The female detention officer was not injured.

After reviewing video footage of the incident the sheriff’s department has released a photo of a mid-1990s Buick 4-door car.

Four individuals were in the vehicle at the time of the incident and the department said the weapon was fired from the rear passenger seat of the Buick,

“Our civilian employee pulled their vehicle into a parking space on the passenger side of the Buick. When our employee exited their vehicle is when this incident occurred,” said Cpl. Sarah Hardin with the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department. “Our employee was taken completely by surprise and was shocked that the incident occurred. Our employee immediately entered Little Caesars for safety purposes.”
