On Saturday members of the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office responded to yet another shooting into the church on Horse Mountain Rd. While investigating it, they were able to come up with a vehicle description. A few minutes later, a patrolman with the Shelbyville Police Department spotted the vehicle in question in the area and as a result they have identified and arrested the person responsible for shooting into the churches, vandalizing the power company, and cable lines as a Wendell Buchanan 36, of Shelbyville. He is in custody at the Bedford County Jail with a 500,000.00 bond. The Bedford County Sheriff’s Office wants to give a big “Thank you” to the Shelbyville Police Department, as this was a joint effort between the agencies, and their assistance was invaluable.
