MARYVILLE, Tn - A memorial fund for fallen Maryville Police Officer Kenny Moats has been established by KenJo Markets in the amount of $10,000. Anyone who wishes to contribute to the fund can drop off donations at CBBC Bank or the City of Maryville - please checks payable to the Kenny Moats Memorial Fund.
“We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to KenJo Markets and Wes and Charlie Carruthers for their generosity. We are overwhelmed by the generosity and caring this community is extending to us,” said Maryville Police Chief Tony Crisp.
Local law enforcement agencies have stepped up to assist the Maryville Police Department with officers and staff to support their efforts as the department continues to manage and cope with the loss of one of their own. Chief Crisp is advising the community that agencies may be responding to their calls and that these agencies have the authority to act on behalf of Maryville.
Moates was shot and killed by a 44 year old suspect while responding to a domestic dispute on Thursday afternoon in Maryville.
