9 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Living Oakville Beaver LIVING EDITOR: ANGELA BLACKBURN By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Phone: 905-337-5560 Fax: 905-337-5571 e-mail: ablackburn@oakvillebeaver.com Newspaper `felon' makes good her escape A high-profile gallery of Oakville rogues made up for their many faults Friday raising $11,000 for the 2009 Canadian Cancer Society Jail-N-Bail. The fun-filled charity event saw 14 wayward souls arrested and imprisoned within a plastic prison, set up in the Oakville Place Shopping Mall, on a variety of ridiculous charges leveled at them by friends and colleagues. To gain their freedom, the prisoners were given the opportunity to call anyone they could think of, on phones donated by Telus, in an effort to raise their bail. The first member of Oakville's Most Wanted to be indicted was the editor in chief of the Halton Division of Metroland West Media Group Jill `Last Word' Davis, who was charged with forming a run-on sentence. Davis, clad in a striped prison uniform, had her fingerprints taken by several very real members of the Halton Regional Police Service who also snapped a mug shot of her for their records. "Is she cuffed because I don't feel safe," said event host/Constable Rob Partridge who then escorted a grinning Davis before Hanging Judge/Constable Les Fulop. Extremely displeased and disturbed by the nature of Davis' run-on sentence and with her attempt to bribe the police with Timbits, Fulop initially set bail at $700. This, however, was lowered to $500 after Davis cited the numerous articles, photographs and advertisements, which have run in the Oakville Beaver promoting the Canadian Cancer Society. With a squeak of Fulop's green plastic gavel, Davis was taken to the nearby plastic prison and provided with a phone to begin raising her bail. "This is my first offence," said Davis.
