BLOOMINGTON – McLean County will be represented in the tributes to murdered Fulton County Sheriff’s Deputy Troy Chisum.
Sheriff Jon Sandage said Thursday night the McLean County Sheriff’s Honor Guard will fire the 21 gun salute at the burial service for Chisum who was shot to death Tuesday in rural Avon.
Chisum’s visitation will be Sunday and his funeral Monday at Cuba Middle-Senior High School.
Prosecutors on Thursday charged Nathan Woodring, 42, with first degree murder for allegedly shooting Chisum in the chest.
Woodring appeared in court for the first time amid heavy security, according to news partner WMBD-TV.
A judge set bond at $5 million, and appointed a public defender for Woodring, who faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted. There is no death penalty under Illinois law.
Meantime, donations topped $17,000 Thursday night on a GoFundMe page established to help Chisum’s wife and three daughters.
