On Friday, Jan. 4 at approximately 3:55 p.m. a Columbia Police officer was involved in an incident at Battle High School, 7575 E. St. Charles Road. The MSHP crash report identifies the officer involved in today's incident at Battle High School as Andria Heese. Officer Heese has been with the Columbia Police Department for five years and is assigned to the Community Outreach Unit. Officer Heese is on Administrative Leave as per department protocol.

The officer was driving a marked patrol vehicle when the vehicle struck a 4-year-old female child.
