TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — If you were driving in Terre Haute and you saw Sergeant Matt Ames with the Indiana State Police on a roof, no worries he wasn’t stuck.
On Friday morning, the Indiana State Police and local law enforcement agencies were participating in “Cop on a rooftop.’
Officers were at both Dunkin’ Donuts locations in Terre Haute greeting customers or standing on the roof. Proceeds raised will go to the Indiana Special Olympics.
“Here in Terre Haute, we actually host the Special Olympics in Indiana. It gives an opportunity to the local athletes and the local law enforcement officer. The funding will provide us the opportunity to pay for housing, food and lodging for everyone participating in the Special Olympics in the Terre Haute area,” Ames said.
Ames added the goal was to beat last year’s total raised of three thousand dollars.
The Special Olympics were hosted in June in Indiana. Nearly two thousand athletes were registered.
