The 28th Annual DeKalb County Angel Tree Project is underway and your support is needed to help make this holiday season merrier for 331 children.

Laura Stone said Angel Trees are located at bank locations in Smithville and Alexandria. Each Angel represents a child and his or her wish list for Christmas. Select an Angel from the tree, buy a gift for the child and return the gift to the bank where you picked up the Angel by December 2nd.

“This is our 28th year serving children 12 and younger living in DeKalb County. Angel cards are located on Christmas trees in the local banks. People of the community can pick up an Angel and buy for a child. The wish list on each Angel is just a suggestion. It is what the child has specifically requested. Sometimes people will buy only what is listed on the card. In some cases they will buy additional things. It is not necessary that you buy everything on the list. It is your choice if you want to wrap the gifts. We need the gifts back by December 2nd.”, said Stone.

“With this being our 28th year, we have seen a lot of faces grow up in the program. What warms my heart are those children who benefited from the Angel Tree when they were young. They are now adults and know the positive effect it had on their lives and will now support the Angel Tree and adopt Angels themselves.”

Please consider adopting an Angel today or if you have no time to shop, donations can be made at Wilson Bank or any Smithville or Alexandria bank branch and the Volunteers will do the shopping for you.

An Algood man indicted two years ago in connection with the drug-related death of a Smithville woman was sentenced Monday, November 14 in DeKalb County Criminal Court.

43-year-old Patrick Goolsby entered a plea to a charge of attempted second degree murder and received an effective 15-year sentence as a range I offender to serve at least 30% before his release eligibility date.

The charges against Goolsby in November 2020 were the result of a joint investigation by Special Agents with the Drug Investigation Division of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department. Goolsby was named in grand jury indictments that month charging him with one count of Second-Degree Murder and one count of Sale and Delivery of a Schedule II Controlled Substance.

In June, 2020 agents joined deputies in investigating the death of 45-year-old Jennifer Leighann Jacobs. She was found deceased on May 22nd, 2020 in her Smithville home of a drug overdose, with fentanyl determined as a contributing factor. The investigation revealed that on May 18th, 2020 the victim had purchased drugs by an individual identified as Patrick Goolsby.

Count 1 of the indictment alleged that “between the dates of May 18-22, 2020 Patrick Ryan Goolsby unlawfully and recklessly killed Jennifer Leighanne Jacobs by the unlawful distribution or unlawful delivery or unlawful dispensation of fentanyl, and the said fentanyl was the proximate cause of the death of Jacobs”.

Count 2 alleged that Goolsby, on or about the 18th day of May 2020 unlawfully and knowingly sold a controlled substance, to wit: fentanyl, a schedule II-controlled substance.

Count 3 alleged that Goolsby, or or about the 18th day of May, 2020 unlawfully and knowingly delivered a controlled substance, to wit: fentanyl, a schedule II-controlled substance.

As part of the plea agreement, the drug charges against Goolsby were dropped with his guilty plea for attempted second degree murder.
