Jimmie Allen is coming home to honor a fallen police officer and his family.
Delmar Police Cpl. Keith Heacook was responding to a call for a fight at a home on the Maryland-Delaware line on April 25 when he was allegedly assaulted by a 30-year-old man. After being taken to shock trauma, Cpl. Heacook passed away from his injuries a few days later.
Country star Jimmie Allen, a Milton, Delaware native, heard about the terrible situation and expressed his thoughts ina video to social media, “It’s a terrible situation. I’m definitely keeping his family and friends in my prayers.” Allen also revealed he would be coming home to play a show at the Bottle & Cork in Dewey Beach, Delaware on May 10. There will be a $10 cover charge with all proceeds going to Heacook’s family.
“So if you can come out and support — even if you can’t come to the show, if you want to stop by and make a donation — I’m sure the family will appreciate it,” he said.
