Alabama Firefighter Charged With Stealing Breast Cancer T Shirt Proceeds

An Alabama volunteer firefighter is facing felony theft charges after stealing approximately $2,000 in donated funds his fire company had raised for breast cancer research. Phillip Jones, 34, of the Tallassee Volunteer Fire Department has allegedly admitted to stealing the funds on several occasions and using it to buy drugs.

The funds were raised through the sale of the TVFD’s pink breast cancer awareness T-shirts. Besides the criminal charges, Jones has been dismissed from the fire company.

    Obviously this Phillip Jones was only thinking of himself.

    Hope he does some long “Time” to think about what he did. Not just stealing the money, but the damage done to the VFC that conducted the Charity Drive.
