What was his Bond? $50.
Wonder where he stole it.
Why did this not revoke his parole?? Why was he RELEASED???
RESPONSE: Parole office was notified, but no parole hold or revokation was issued. Joe B.
Welcome to Drew county!
Why was the bond for theft so low? It seems to me this is a serious offense and should require a bond that reflects that. I believe the bond would have been higher if there was a fine involved, but since it was only a citizen’s personal property that was stolen the was no motivation to bring a higher bond into play. Really $50.00 come on! I also believe that the individual responsible for issuing a hold should be held accountable for failure to act in a responsible manner and an investigation should be initiated on the parole officer. This guy is probably laughing about the whole thing right now! (As he is stealing someone else s property)
How much will he have to steal before he is locked back up? The parole system is really must up. I know a man that was on parole got caught drunk and has his parole revoked.
Politics!!! It is election year! This is just wrong. Always slapping them on the hand like a little kid and saying ok don’t do it again! If I were a betting person he will be back in jail for the same thing in a few weeks.
Read the next story about him and see that there was NOT a bond. He got off ‘scott-free’ so he decides to steal a truck!!! This should let the authorities know that there is nothing they can do for him but lock him up for a habitial criminal and make him do the time. oh, but wait–that may be what he wants…A roof over his head, 3 meals a day, watch TV, NO work, air conditioning in summer and heat in the winter–NO BILLS…..
