Lovingston
Nelson County, Virginia

A grieving Nelson family was shocked to find that a donation jar they placed in a local store to help raise money for a friend’s final burial expenses had been stolen. “A donation jar was placed at Nelson Food Mart in Lovingston to raise money for a deceased friend who was cremated. On January 2nd a white male walked into the Food Mart, and said he was collecting the jar to deliver it to the appropriate person. On Monday January 4th the mother and daughter went to the store to collect the donation jar and discovered it had been taken,” Nelson County Sheriff, David Brooks, tells NCL.

Sheriff Brooks went on to say the store clerk told the mother and daughter that the jar had been picked up by Bill Packard, age 49 of Schuyler, Virginia.

Sheriff Brooks says Packard was arrested on Tuesday – January 5th and is being held with no bond, charged with larceny.

An initial court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday – January 6th.
