A federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed against a police officer. The lawsuit stems from an incident where the officer allegedly entered a property without a warrant and shot a pet donkey. The donkey, named HeeHaw, was killed during a search for a missing person. The property owner claims the officer and other law enforcement personnel entered her enclosed pasture without consent.

The incident occurred on Grady Road between late night August 29 and early morning August 30. A complaint was filed in U.S. District Court on September 11, 2026. The property owner has expressed that her farm is not the same without the donkey. Further details about the incident are available from the source.
