  • 3-15 MDA Lockup1.jpg ‘Jailbirds’ raise about $24,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Association

    Though there were no bars or bad smelling cells, about 50 Duncan area residents went to jail Thursday.
    There were a total of about 100 “jailbirds” who participated in this year’s Muscular Dystrophy Association Lock-Up. Each had a $800 bond issued to them several weeks ago and those who didn’t reach their goal by Thursday spent an hour in “jail,” actually the Hampton Inn, where they made phone calls to raise the rest of the funds.
