TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare's President served time Tuesday after being "jailed" to raise money for heart research.
TMH's President and CEO Mark O'Bryant was under "cardiac arrest" from 9 a.m. to noon in order to raise money for the American Heart Association's Heart Walk.
At the annual event, O'Bryant wore a classic prisoner outfit and was guarded by an officer as he received donations to either post bail or stay in jail.
"People don't realize this but there's a tremendous amount of heart research that goes on right here in Tallahassee...This is a small effort to help raise money for that great organization and form of partnership we have with them," said O'Bryant.
Event organizers hoped to raise around $3,500.
