VICTOR, N.Y. — A local Bills fan said an Erie County sheriff’s deputy punched his car’s window and broke his mirror during a post game motorcade on I-90 after Sunday’s game.

“He punched your windshield,” Zach Hart’s wife said as she recorded the incident.

“Yeah he broke my mirror!” Hart said from the driver’s seat.

Chief investigative reporter Berkeley Brean of News10NBC met with Hart in Victor to see the damage to his car.

“Yeah, so originally the officer came up and put his fist to the window. The window was up,” Hart said “And once that wasn’t good enough for him he then punched the mirror on the back side to fold the mirror in. And just me moving it like that, it’s already hard enough to move.”

Hart said the deputy was leading a motorcade with flashing lights in heavy post game traffic. The Erie County Sheriff’s Office is hired on game days to escort visiting team owners, officials, broadcast teams and special guests, but it is not clear who was in the black SUVs that day.

Brean asked Hart if he made any hand gestures or did anything that could have triggered the deputy’s actions.

“No,” Hart said.

“Anything that would have triggered something like that?” Brean asked.

“I saw him doing the hand signals telling me to move over when he was behind my vehicle so then I turned on my directional to get into that middle lane, indicating that I’m trying to get over safely. And that’s when he came up on my driver’s side and punched my window,” Hart said.

Hart said he filed a complaint with the Erie County Sheriff’s Office.

The Erie County Sheriff’s Office shared a statement: “Integrity and professionalism are hallmarks of the Erie County Sheriff’s Office and its staff. On October 4, a member of the Police Services Division assigned to the Motor Unit was performing an escort on I-90 when a vehicle in the left lane failed to yield the right-of-way to his lights and sirens. A complaint was subsequently received by our Office from an occupant of that vehicle. The Professional Standards Division is currently reviewing the facts related to the interaction to determine what actions the employee took and whether they complied with policy. This story offers us an important opportunity to remind motorists that pursuant to § 1144 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, they are required to yield the right-of-way and immediately move to the right when an emergency vehicle approaches from behind with its lights and sirens activated,” officials said.

The sheriff’s office review is ongoing.
