Sweet Lucy's raises $14,200 for slain cop's family

The restaurant donated half of the day's sales - and employees kicked in cash as well from raffles of gift baskets.

A lot of barbecue went out the door on March 25 at Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse in Northeast Philadelphia.

The restaurant donated half of the day's sales - and employees kicked in cash as well from raffles of gift baskets.

All told, $14,205 will go to the family of Police Officer Robert Wilson III, the restaurant announced.

Waits were as long as two hours, said manager Brooke Higgins, who added that people who didn't have time to wait could buy gift cards, whose proceeds were included in the donation.
