A fundraiser to help a family offset the cost of burial expenses is being investigated by the Trenton Police Department after no monetary funds were ever distributed to the family.

According to Trenton Police Chief Tommy Wright the department is investigating the theft of money from an August 2014 charity softball tournament.

“Several area residents formed a two day softball tournament at Griffin Field…to raise money for three area men who had died in a vehicle accident in 2009 and in 2012,” Wright said in a statement released on social media. “The money raised was to be distributed to the families to help offset the cost of burial and headstone expenses.”

However, to date the police department said no families have ever received any funds raised from the event.

Wright said that the department has developed leads on an individual or multiple individuals in the investigation and has asked anyone who contributed to the softball tournament to contact him at the Trenton Police Department via email at [email protected] or by phone at 660-359-5557.

Currently an investigation is on going.
