(WAGM)</figcaption></figure>PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - Tuesday is the big day! The Great Community Lock up.WAGM in partnership with the United Way and Acadia Federal Credit Union will be holding the Great Community Lock Up. Sarah Duncan, the executive Director of the United Way of Aroostook, explains how the event will work.Duncan says, “It’s 25 dollars to issue a warrant. And you can do it right online or you can call our office to do that and that warrant goes to have us go on that day to fake arrest them. We are partnering, we have a couple of people from the sheriff’s department who aren’t on call that day but they’re going to volunteer. We have cop costumes. So, we might show up at your workplace and fake arrest you. You do have the opportunity to say no thank you for 25 dollars, so you can match your warrant and not go, or you can come down to our block party. We’re going to have music, we’ll have a food truck, and you can work to call your friends and family to make your bail.”Duncan says all money raised from this event stays local.“A lot of people know the United Way as a nonprofit organization that just fundraise’s and gives out grants to other organizations. But we are so much more. We do have our own programs now. We do direct service and help people directly and really we’re just constantly trying to find the gaps in the communities and what programs need to be created or where we can put money towards to be able to solve some of these problems that our communities are facing.” says Duncan.</div></body>
