'Arrest' warrant issued for Bay Village's Director of Community Services, Debbie Bock

It's been years since Debbie Bock has served any time in jail but it looks like the authorities are closing in on her. Plans call for her to be arrested on Wednesday, April 28 at 1 p.m. The elusive Bock has managed to stay clear of the law while serving the senior citizens of Bay Village for many years.

Now she is going to be locked up, for good. While on the run, we were able to track her down at one of her hide-aways, the Dwyer Senior Center. As she darted out the door, she gave a brief statement about her future jailbird status. Said Bock, "They finally caught me! I’m going to jail…but it’s for a great cause…MDA!"

That's right, the reason for Bock's "arrest" will be a good one. She has been chosen to be locked up as a participant in the Muscular Dystrophy Association's (MDA) Lockup program. As part of the fun fundraising program community leaders are "charged" with being caring, good-natured and influential with friends and associates.

The participants are then arrested and sentenced to serve time at a MDA maximum appreciation jail site.

After her arrest on April 28, Debbie will be taken to "jail" at Avon Oaks Country Club and has to make bail. "My bail has been set at $1600. If I raise my bail before the Lock-Up, they will go easy on me, but I need your help to make my incarceration as painless as possible!" she said.

Because of your support, MDA is able to continually provide help and hope to hundreds of thousands of children and adults living with neuromuscular disease. Donations from the Lock-Up will support local families and guarantee that MDA can continue its mission to find treatments and cures, as well as provide vital services.

Anyone with a generous heart wishing to help Debbie make bail can contribute with cash or a check made out to "MDA" and mail or drop it off at the Dwyer Center, 300 Bryson Lane, Bay Village, Oh 44140.
