A police chief of a small Indiana town in the US who agreed to be shot by a stun gun at fundraising event to buy a new squad car says he raised about $800 (€580) in cash and received a $25,000 (€18,139) pledge from a company.
Knightstown Police Chief Danny Baker says he’s been receiving calls from all over the country and expects to collect more money. His goal was to raise $9,000 (€6,530) so the town of about 2,100 people could lease a new squad car. Now he says he might be able to get a second car.
He says being hit with 50,000 volts of low-amp electricity felt like someone hitting him in the back of the head repeatedly.
