#Former ‘Most Wanted’ list member saves life of officer who arrested her

An Alabama woman once on the state’s “Most Wanted” list has given a life-saving kidney to the cop who threw her in jail.

Jocelynn James, of Russellville, donated the organ to retired Phil Campbell officer Terrell Potter, who arrested her twice as she battled an opioid addiction and racked up more than a dozen charges, news station WVTM reported.

James, who is now clean after serving a six-month stay in a halfway house in 2013, said she was scrolling on Facebook in December 2019 when she saw Potter was in need of the transplant.

“The Holy Spirit told me, ‘You’ve got that man’s kidney.’ I knew right then I had his kidney,” she said.

Potter, who faced an eight-year wait for the procedure, was stunned when James reached out to offer hers.

“It’s not just a coincidence. It’s just God. There is no other way,” Potter said.

James underwent tests to see if she was a good candidate and received a call from Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville telling her that they “never had a better match for a kidney transplant.”

The pair underwent the procedure at the end of July, and doctors have declared it a success.

“For God to use me as a vessel to extend Mr. Potter’s life is my greatest accomplishment,” she told the station in July. “I should be dead. Instead, God helped me save a life. I am overwhelmed.”
