(May 26, 2016) Bail has been set at $300 apiece for those charged with aiding and abetting Relay for Life, and the rogue’s gallery will be on display for all to see during tomorrow’s Fourth Friday event from 5-8 p.m. downtown.
Sentences will last about 30 minutes, or until such time as bail has been raised. The soon-to-be jailbirds will be requesting the community’s aid in raising bail in advance of the event.
Overcrowding is possible, as members from more than one relay team may serve concurrent sentences.
According to the most recent release from officials, the following will be serving hard time in the downtown square:
• 5-5:30 p.m.: Miss and Little Miss Pocomoke, representing the Pocomoke Junior Women’s Club and Dr. Annette Wallace on the Kids Against Cancer team.
• 5:30-6 p.m.: Rob and Grace Godwin from the Shore Bank team.
• 6-6:30 p.m.: Melissa Freistat, representing Pocomoke Elementary School and Brandi Castaneda from Kids Against Cancer.
• 6:30-7 p.m.: Cheryl Brown, of Pocomoke Middle School
• 7-7:30 p.m.: Mayor Bruce Morrison, representing Rays of Hope.
7:30-8 p.m. – Larry Beauchamp from Pauline’s Peeps.
Donations to these individuals will greatly reduce their sentences, and can be tendered in the form of promissory notes, according to authorities.
Regularly scheduled Fourth Friday events and amenities, including free museum admission, arts vendors and entertainment provided by Neal Hooks will take place as well.
Food and beverages will also be available for purchase. Those with the proper credentials may purchase alcoholic beverages.
According to authorities, this is the final fundraising event before the June 11 Relay for Life held at the Pocomoke Fairgrounds between the hours of 1-11 p.m.
Sixteen teams from southern Worcester County have registered to participate. To date, officials said, teams have raised about half of the $35,000 goal, though most donations are remitted during the event.
