Bradley Police issue warning of fraudulent fundraising for police victims

GoFundMe fundraisers for the Bradley police shooting victims are not legitimate. The Bradley Police Department is warning people of several fraudulent GoFundMe fundraisers posted by supposed family members of Sgt. Marlene Rittmanic.

“If you see a fundraising page for Sgt. Marlene Rittmanic, you can report it to them as fraudulent and if you've donated to one please seek a refund.” That’s the word from a Bradley Police social media posting.

The family of Sgt. Rittmanic does not plan to use GoFundMe for any such purpose.

The department did say there is one GoFundMe fundraiser page that has been created by the family of Officer Tyler Bailey.

Bradley Police state, “We thank you for the amount of support we've received from the community and we ask you to continue to keep Sgt. Rittmanic and Officer Bailey along with their families in your thoughts and prayers.”
