A man is in custody after an investigation into a shots fired call in downtown Elizabethtown.
Deadrick Jackson of Elizabethtown is currently incarcerated in the Hardin County Detention Center following his arrest Sunday.
According to the Elizabethtown Police Department, on August 24 officers responded to the Cherry Alley parking lot off of North Main Street to follow up on a shots-fired call initially reported at around 3:30 a.m. Responding officers were unable to locate evidence during the initial response, but shortly after 9 a.m. officers recovered 13 spent shell casings near the parking lot exit.
“Private security video showed muzzle flashes coming from a gray Chevrolet Impala, and other city cameras and FLOCK cameras helped us identify the vehicle,” said EPD Public Information Officer John Thomas.
The FLOCK camera system assisted officers in locating the suspect vehicle at the Elizabethtown Target at around 4 p.m. Officers detained Jackson without incident.
“A Glock 10 mm handgun was found under the driver’s seat,” Thomas said. “Jackson has been charged with two counts of Wanton Endangerment. This case truly highlights how surveillance cameras, FLOCK technology, and community cooperation allow us to quickly identify suspects and keep our city safe.”
No injuries and no property damage was reported. Jackson is scheduled to appear in Hardin District Court on September 5.
