    Lightbulb Why Darren Wilson's Fundraising Pages Mysteriously Shut Down This Weekend

    After raising more than $400,000 for Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, supporters halted donations on a GoFundMe page Saturday to strategize how to use that money without violating tax rules for non-profits.

    Representative Jeff Roorda tells Daily RFT he's trying to determine whether Shield of Hope, the organization managing the donations, is legally allowed to spend the funds on Wilson's legal defense since it is a registered 501c3 nonprofit. Most donors expected their money to pay for lawyers, legal fees and other expenses related to Wilson's prosecution, Roorda says.

    "If we find money was donated to the Shield of Home GoFundMe and it can't be used for the express purpose it was intended for, we will return it," says Roorda, one of the officials listed on the nonprofit's state records, along with Ferguson Police Officer Timothy Zoll and Florissant councilman Joseph Eagan.
