Local sheriffs from four counties jailed

Sheriffs and deputies from four counties were jailed March 2 in Pensacola.
They weren’t locked away for breaking the law, however. Instead they voluntarily were locked up in a make-shift jail during the Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital Radiothon.

The Radiothon is a “three-day live radio broadcast to raise funds to provide sick or injured children in our community with specialized equipment needed for their care,” according to www.sacred-heart.org/radiothon. As a part of the Radiothon, sheriffs must raise money from donations to make bail.
