Fundraiser Set Up For Injured Deputy

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office launched a fundraiser on Friday for Deputy Chris Lynn.

Lynn suffered severe injuries Thursday when he crashed his patrol car while responding to a service call in Cookeville.

Sheriff Eddie Farris has been working with local community leaders including the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge # 10, located in Cookeville, and the Bank of Putnam County to establish an account that friends, family and the Putnam County community can make financial donations to.

All funds raised will go directly to Deputy Lynn’s family to be used for medical, travel and lodging expenses while they aid him in his recovery.

With the recent merger between the Bank of Putnam County and Citizen’s First Bank, donations will be accepted at any of the Bank of Putnam County 19 locations in 9 counties. All donations should be made out to the following: Bank of Putnam, County Chris Lynn Benefit, Account #30358766.
