Santa Fe Reporter Classified Advertising Manager Anna Maggiore was arraigned and booked today...at the March of Dimes Jail & Bail at Santa Fe Place mall.

According to MoD:

One of the March of Dimes favorite events, Jail & Bail brings together community leaders and ordinary citizens for a common cause... fighting birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Since its inception in 1957, more than 5 million citizens have volunteered their time in the name of fun - and a good cause.

At this event, volunteer "jailbirds" serve time in a "mock jail." "Prisoners" are arraigned before a volunteer judge on trumped-up, outlandish charges, such as "reckless golf-cart driving." They are then sentenced to spend an hour in "the slammer" to raise bail in the form of donations to the March of Dimes. Nearly 500 events are held annually across the country.

Updated: This whole thing wasn't Anna's choice. Someone "turned her in." She received a postcard...and how do you turn down the birth defect charity? She still doesn't know who turned her in.

But all in good fun in the end. Anna's crime? One count of "being sassy" and another count of "amateur video." The offending video after the jump.





Very shaky, we know. Hence the extreme sentence handed down by the judge.
