More than two dozen San Angelo "business leaders" had to collect bond of 13-hundred dollars each....in so-called "bail dollars" for the annual "M-D-A lock-up for Jerry's Kids".
I was at work today and one of the San Angelo police officers come by picked me up and sent me here and said post bond. Says Leon Langley, MDA Jailbird.
Langely was among more than 60 others hauled off to THE Muscular Dystrophy Association, MDA lock up at Texas Roadhouse Thursday.
Once Im here, I just call names and numbers and uh the ones that paid me I marked them off, and the ones I bill, I got their names and addresses so all I have to do is fill out the slip, says Langley.
Each person picked is process with a mug shot and then has to report to the judge.

Basically were taking business leaders from San Angelo, and locking them up for Jerrys Kids, and locking them up. Uhm their bail is set at 13-hundred dollars. Said District Director Angie Felts.
JJackson:
For most MDA jailbirds, the initial reaction to the bond is shocking but after making phone calls to family and friends, they begin to realize posting bail isn't too difficult. After all money raised will help a child with m-d go to summer camp.
