It’s not everyday a Selma resident can get arrested for ignoring a serious health condition, but the Dallas County division of the American Heart Association is taking the law into its own hands to bring awareness of heart disease and stroke.

In an event known as the Dallas County Cardiac Arrest, locals are being charged with &uot;crimes of the heart&uot; in an effort to raise funds for medical research.

The American Heart Associa-tion has notified Selma’s &uot;Most Wanted Citizens&uot; to appear before a mock court and bring plenty of bail money with them.

Court will be in session at the Larry Stripling Performing Arts Center Tuesday from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Presiding

will be Judge &uot;Heartless.&uot;

After posting bail of up to $250, participants will have their mug shots taken before eating a light lunch. &uot;You won’t get treated this well in a real prison,&uot; Sharpe said.

Sharpe is hoping to get a lot of people from the community to attend the event and help the American Heart Association.

Sharpe said the American Heart Association has always worked to prevent cardiovascular patients from suffering a lifetime of pain.
