Grand Island Realtor to get tased, pepper-sprayed to support fallen police officer’s family

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Grand Island real estate agent is going above and beyond to support a fallen Grand Island police officer’s family.

Jimmy Reed, a sales associate for Berkshire Hathaway Home Services’ Da-Ly Realty, said on Facebook that he’s trying to raise $20,000 for the family of Chris Marcello.

The former GIPD investigator died suddenly earlier this year at just 42 years old, leaving behind his wife and children.

Reed says he will be doing a Facebook Live on Oct. 20 of him getting pepper-sprayed and shocked with a Taser.

He wants people to make their donations on a GoFundMe page, or you can reach out to him for a private donation.

“Everything is to help Chris and his family,” Reed says in a Facebook post that’s since been shared by the Grand Island Police Department.
