JEFFERSON COUNTY, MO - The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is apologizing after surveillance footage shows a deputy covering up a home owner's camera.
Ashley Mathis, the woman who lives at the home, told KTVI there have been events in the neighborhood that make her feel uneasy and the cameras are there for her safety.
The surveillance footage shows three deputies in the area of the home's front yard, then one deputy approaches the camera and covers the lens up.
Staff with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office told KTVI the incident is being investigated and they believe the deputy displayed a lack of judgment. The office issued this statement on Facebook:
Mathis said she does not accept the apology and said she is upset the post from the sheriff's office included that deputies were familiar with her home. She said there have been incidents at the home in the past but not recently.
