Arrests to benefit March of Dimes

The Henderson Jail and Bail project is expecting to "arrest" more than 100 area business owners Tuesday in a benefit for the March of Dimes.

These "prisoners" will be escorted from their place of business by volunteers from Nellis Air Force Base and taken to the mock jail at Carrabba's Italian Grill, 10160 S. Eastern Ave.

Prisoners will be arraigned before a volunteer judge and sentenced to spend one hour in "jail" to help raise bail in the form of contributions to the March of Dimes for Nevada's babies.

Eric and Jane Post from "Marriage Can Be Murder," will be the celebrity judges from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. The event runs from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Faculty and administrative representatives will also be on hand. For more information, call 990-0375 or visit www.regis.edu.
