On Saturday, January 19th, 2019 the Seaway Valley Crime Stoppers Program hosted an event at Foodland in Winchester, Ontario.

The Mayor of South Dundas, Tony Fraser, was arrested and placed in a Coke Case jail cell. Cuffed up for a cause saw the Mayor put on 250 pairs of handcuffs.

The fundraising event was in support of Crime Stoppers Month and took place from 10 a.m. until Tony was freed from all 250 sets of handcuffs.

Also, during this week SD&G OPP Constable Tylor Copeland was around the village making other "arrests" of local business owners and community celebrities. The celebrities filled their "Bail Buckets" to get them out of the cell on Saturday. The celebrities included Winchester Prints Kreg Raistrick, Foodland store owner Dan Pettigrew, owner of Guy Fuels Chris Guy, owner Ron Blanchard of Winchester Service Center and Maria Shelp from Winchester Public School.

This wonderful community graciously braved the cold to support this event. The event raised $2500.

The Seaway Valley Crime Stoppers Board of Directors and Police-coordinator Tylor Copeland would like to thank the community and all of the involved "convicts" for their support of this event.
