A fundraising event sponsored by the Greene County Peace Officers Association will be taking place at a new location this afternoon (Friday). Captain Heath Enns with the Jefferson Police Department says that the upcoming Taser demonstration will now be held by the entry doors of the Greene County Law Enforcement Center at 204 South Chestnut St. in Jefferson at 4 p.m. The “winner” raising the most in donations from local residents is Andy McGinn, Editor-in-Chief of the Jefferson Herald, who has volunteered to be Tased. The demonstration was originally planned to take place during tonight’s football game at the Greene County High School, but the district’s insurance company made a request that this not be held on school property for liability reasons. More than $760 was raised through this fundraising effort. Ten individuals agreed to volunteer to the exposure in a controlled environment and a listing of the results for all participants can be found below.
