A man was caught on camera stealing from a donation jar at a Pulaski County gas station and the family who set the jar to raise money for their diabetic daughter wants to find out who that man is and why he would steal from them.
Surveillance cameras at the Burnside Shell Station on US 27 caught the man taking the jar sometime Thursday evening.
Ritha Morrow’s 15-year-old daughter, Callie, was diagnosed with type one diabetes seven years ago. The family wants to buy her a medical alert dog.

“It made me mad and frustrated and hurt because we’re trying to raise money for her to help her,” says Ritha Morrow.
“I won’t have to live in the constant fear of not knowing when my sugar’s getting high or low and I’ll actually feel like I have the upper hand on my disease,” says Callie.
The service dog will cost $25,000. So far the Morrows have raised $8,000 thanks to fundraisers like a pancake breakfast and the donation jar.
“We’ve had numerous people step in and help and donate,” says Ritha. “The fact that they can take off charity. It doesn’t matter, they don’t care about anything else.”
The video has been turned over to the Burnside Police Department.
“Even if he doesn’t spend jail time or whatever I would like him to feel ashamed of what he’s done,” says Ritha.
If you recognize the man in the video, contact Burnside police.
