Crime Prevention..with a twist

It was an interesting day today.  I ended up in jail!


Oops

Yes, it was JAIL AND BAIL-Catch and Release day here in Clarenville on Friday the 13th, sponsored by the Clarenville Area Citizens' Crime Prevention Committee.  You are either on the "let's get someone arrested" side of the fence (jail cell) or the other "let's lay low and hide" side to keep from being arrested.  I  as sitting on that fence early this morning....

Then I became an instigator and with our students we managed to help get my friend and collegue Rick Martin arrested.  Then I hid.

The Mounties always get their man.

All too shortly after getting Rick in the squad car, I found myself in the back seat of another one.  I was charged on two counts:

- Too Vocal on Council matters     (I wonder who put me up to this....hummm? )
- Decorating without a licence.      (Not sure on this one!)

Anyway, an hour or so later, Rick and I raised about $250 for Crime Prevention thanks to the generous donations of people at the college and people like you.

My thanks to Judge Stanford & Judge Baker, the RCMP and the rest of the Crime Prevention crew for the opportunity to participate in this "good humored" fundraiser.  I'll be sure to be on my best behaviour...until next time...maybe...not

Have a watch of the video....
