His crime: “Having a Big Heart.” The chief and 75 other Richmond community leaders went behind bars at various locations, with their “bail” money pledged by people in the community raising more than $65,000 to help send 55 children to the Muscular Dystrophy Association Summer Camp in Wakefield, according to MDA officials. The donations also will support MDA’s clinical services at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU. The chief had raised more than $2,400 in donations by Tuesday.
