OH Woman Steals Donation Box Meant For Fallen Westerville Officers To “Play Keno”

Authorities say a 62-year-old Columbus woman has been arrested after allegedly stealing a donation box setup for the two fallen Westerville Police Officers.

Donna Lee Ater has been charged with theft after police say an Average Joe’s employee noticed their donation box to raise money for the fallen officers was missing and so was about $300.

The employee noticed on surveillance video that a woman who was playing Keno took the cash.

Employees say Ater left before anyone could confront her.

Eric Joering, 39, and 54-year-old Tony Morelli were fatally shot on February 10 after responding to a 911 hang-up call about a potential domestic situation.

Thirty-year-old Quentin Smith has been charged with aggravated murder in connection with their deaths. source
