Montecito Fire Chief Arrested
Posted by Geri Ventura -August 13, 2008-Montecito Fire Chief Kevin Wallace went to "jail" to help raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association earlier today.
The "jailers" picked him up from Fire District Headquarters at approximately 1:00 pm on a warrant issued by an unknown MDA accomplice. Chief Wallace, and his wife Maureen both went without incident to the Rooftop of the Canary Hotel, where they were forced to raise bail money before they could be released.
Chief Wallace raised Nine hundred and eleven dollars while in custody. That's right - ironically and unplanned, he raised 9-1-1 dollars. Mrs. Wallace, who was also jailed, raised $625.
Monies collected for the fundraiser will go toward research, support group sessions, sending children to MDA Summer camp, and providing leg braces and wheelchairs to those in need who are afflicted with Muscular Dystrophy.
