GRUNDY COUNTY, MO— Friends have established an online fundraiser to assist a Trenton, Missouri police officer who was shot June 14 during a struggle over her gun while transporting a prisoner to St. Joseph.

Twenty-four-year-old officer Jasmine Diab is a single mother to a 5-year-old, according to the fundraiser. She remains hospitalized in stable condition, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Daviess County prosecutors charged the inmate identified as 38-year-old Jamey Griffin with first-degree assault, armed criminal action and shooting a weapon at or from a vehicle, according to online jail records.
