Almost $2,000 was brought in for Crime Stoppers Saturday night at the organization’s barbecue fundraiser.

Lt. Kyle Spurlin with the Hopkinsville Police Department is the Crime Stoppers coordinator and says all of that money will help pay out rewards when anonymous tipsters help put wanted fugitives behind bars.

He says Crime Stoppers has been very successful and that wouldn’t be possible without the community’s support.

Spurlin says Crime Stoppers will be hosting additional fundraisers in the future.
