The donations from a barbeque fundraiser for College Station Police Officer Tracy Sheets have been totaled. More than $17,000 was raised at the benefit held Friday at Veterans Park. Hundreds of people from across the Brazos Valley, and as far as Harris and Waller counties attended a barbeque fundraiser.
More than a month ago, Officer Sheets was injured after her patrol vehicle was hit head-on by a suspected drunk driver. Since the accident Officer Sheets has undergone several surgeries and is learning how to walk again. Police say the suspected drunk driver, Alex Ford, had a blood alcohol level that was more than twice the legal limit.

Shouldn't the other driver's insurance be picking up the tab? What about workman's comp? I am delighted that Officer Sheets is recovering and that she is looking forward to returning to her career in law enforcement.
