The Muscular Dystrophy Association hosted its annual MDA lock-up at the Texas Roadhouse in College Station Thursday.

The event raises money to fight, treat and research the various forms of Muscular Dystrophy.

Business and community leaders were sent before MDA's judge and Goodwill Ambassador Peter Ramirez.

He threw the book at offenders, sentencing them to time in MDA's special jail at the restaurant.

The sentence...raise money to fight neuromuscular diseases.

If you didn't get a chance to donate today, KBTX-TV will once again host this year's MDA Labor Day Telethon...so you can call in your pledges then.
