Whiteville woman organizes donations for trooper shot in Wilson County

WHITEVILLE, NC (WWAY) — A Whiteville woman is putting together a sweet surprise for a cause that is close to her heart.

Priscilla Jacobs is collecting donations for Trooper Daniel Harrell, who was shot earlier this week in Wilson County. Jacobs’s husband is a state trooper, and she was close friends with Trooper Kevin Conner.

When she found out about Trooper Harrell, she wanted to do something.

Jacobs has been collecting cards and small gifts made by students around the county.

Jacobs says cards can be brought to Sugar and Spice in Whiteville.

There is also a GoFundMe and a bank account set up. Click here to donate to the GoFundMe.

If you would like to donate to the bank account, you can visit your local State Employees Credit Union and give them Account Number 62389662.

Jacobs says all the money will go to helping Harrell’s recovery.
