President Kyle's Lock-Up Nets $700 for MDA

If they weren’t in on the secret, people who passed by Martin Hall earlier this week may have thought President Penelope Kyle had gotten into a bit of trouble with the law.  After all, it’s not often you see the university president being hand-cuffed and put into a police cruiser. But after the word got out, rumors quickly vanished. The “arrest” was all part of a local Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) fundraiser.

The authorities did go easy on her. President Kyle was bailed out after collecting more than $700 to be donated to MDA research. Sometimes crime does pay.

RU police officer Michael Baker makes a surprise “raid” to Martin Hall to arrest President Penelope Kyle.

President Kyle is shocked to learn that the paparazzi had been alerted to her impending arrest.

Jailbird!!!

Smiling, President Kyle admits it was an inside job!
