LODI – A GoFundMe page created for a Lodi Police Officer claims he lost his job recently for refusing to enforce the stay at home order.

The online fundraiser created by Jenny Miller, a close friend of Duncan’s, states he was “fired from the Lodi Police Department in California for questioning and ultimately refusing to enforce the unconstitutional COVID19 stay-at-home order.”

The page has seen tremendous support, raising over $17,000 in less than 24 hours. The fundraiser has a set goal of $25,000 to help Officer Duncan’s family and to seek legal counsel.

Officer Duncan is the son of Pastor Jon Duncan of Cross Culture Christian Center in Lodi. Pastor Duncan recently made headlines for continuing church services as well, despite the stay-at-home order.

Pastor Duncan also shared his support for his son in a post that read “This is my son. He is a good and honorable man. He took a stand for what was right, refused to close businesses, and would not rob people of their livelihoods or freedom. When no one else was brave, he was.”

At time of publication, Lodi Police Department had not issued a statement regarding the matter.

MODESTO – A 48 year old man was arrested Sunday after walking into a store with a weapon, police say.

The incident happened at the Target shopping center on McHenry Avenue Sunday evening. Officials say Andrew Cheadle walked into the store wearing a backpack with an object sticking out of it. An employee noticed what appeared to be a rifle and called police.

Officers quickly arrived and surrounded the building, and made contact with Cheadle who was in the restroom. He was quickly detained.

The item was determined to be the wooden stock of a crossbow. The weapon was dismantled into several pieces. Cheadle was also found to have narcotics in his possession.

Cheadle was booked on weapons and drug charges. Although authorities say he did not appear to have a threatening intent, he should not have had the weapon with him in the store.

No injuries were reported.
