Lowe's Managers Behind Bars To Raise Money For Children's Hospital

Bail has been set at $12,000 for three managers from the Sarnia Lowe's store.

In support of the Children's Miracle Network, Lino Tesolin, Eric Paquette and Troy Formosa were arrested by Sarnia police on Friday for a "jail-and-bail" fundraiser.

Tesolin says they'll be locked up until the community comes up with at least $5,000 of the overall goal.

"The police handcuffed all three managers and brought them to the police station [Friday]," says Tesolin. "But we've come back to our 'store-made-jail' and now we are staying here until we raise all the funds necessary."

All the money raised in-store and online will go to the London Children's Hospital.

The campaign began on April 6 and goes until May 13.
