Gas City Police Department’s K-9 unit to host fundraiser for Grant County Sheriff’s deputy who suffered heart attack

GAS CITY, Ind. — The Gas City Police Department is planning a fundraiser for a Grant County Sheriff’s deputy who suffered a heart attack earlier this month.

In a Facebook post, GCPD reported that its K-9 unit will be taking donations in support of Deputy Sam Fowler on July 30 and 31. Donations can be taken to the intersection of 3rd and Main Streets in Gas City from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on both dates.

According to GCPD, Fowler suffered a heart attack on July 13. GCPD indicated that Fowler is currently hospitalized and in critical condition.
