Kansas City Chiefs Linebacker Leads Rush To Replace Stolen Mission Solano Turkeys

FAIRFIELD (CBS13) — A Kansas City Chiefs linebacker’s donation and pleas helped replace several hundred turkeys that were stolen from Mission Solano.

Chiefs player and Fairfield native James Michael Johnson donated $1,000 when he heard the shelter was robbed of several hundred turkeys.

“I figured I am in a situation where I can help, where I can give back, so that is something I wanted to do,” Johnson said.

He also encouraged people to donate to the shelter.
