KOKOMO, Ind. -- Malachi's Magnificent Lemonade stand in Kokomo will be open again on Saturday to raise money for the family of Dep. Jacob Pickett.

Deputy Pickett was laid to rest on Friday. He was fatally wounded while assisting the Lebanon Police Department with a pursuit and foot chase on March 2.

Malachi Fronczak's lemonade stand will be open from noon to 4 p.m., at the main branch of the Howard County Library, 220 N. Union Street, Kokomo.

All proceeds from the lemonade sales will go to Pickett's family.

If you can't make it to Kokomo, a memorial fund has been set up for Deputy Jake Pickett by the Fifty Club of Boone County. Donations can be made at either the Boone County Sheriff's office or to any KeyBank (c/o Deputy Jake Pickett Memorial Fund). 

If you can't make it to either of those locations you can also make a donation via PayPal to the Deputy Jake Pickett Memorial Fund.
