State Police holding blood drive

On July 10, 2001, Sgt. Dan R. Starnes of the Morgan County, Indiana Sheriff’s Department, lost his life as a result of gunshot wounds sustained during a line of duty gun battle with a burglary suspect four weeks earlier. To keep his memory alive his surviving spouse, Janice organized the Sgt. Dan R. Starnes Memorial Blood Drive in Morgan County later that year, and has organized a blood drive each year since in Dan’s memory. In 2007 she decided to take the blood drive statewide and renamed it the Indiana Fallen Officers Blood Drive.

On Sunday May 6, from noon to 5:00 p.m. EDT the American Red Cross will be at the Jasper Post located at 2209 Newton Street, Jasper collecting blood.
