Cameron Crockett, 31, posted on Facebook that he would donate the check provided by the U.S. government to someone left out of work due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Crockett took to Facebook last month to announce he would be donating his check from the government—given to eligible Americans as a part of a $2 trillion coronavirus relief package—to one randomly selected person who has been left out of work due to the shutdown.

"One, people more deeply affected by the crisis need it more than me, plain and simple. And two, I want to show in my own little way that we the people are far greater than our representatives in Washington." According to his website, Crockett is appealing his conviction and maintains another person was behind the wheel of his car when it crashed on the night of December 28 in 2008, killing his friend Jack Korte.
