Community aids injured officer Davis with fundraisers
After the assault on officer Tim Davis, donations grew with 13 000 wristbands and 1500 T shirts sold, raising about 80 000 dollars. Three fundraisers collected 26 000 dollars, all funneled through the protective association. Proceeds support the family, while remaining funds go to an injured officers fund. Davis, on paid leave, continues salary and benefits until doctors declare maximum medical improvement. Three teens await trial for the armed robbery tied to the incident.
