How can people like this be on the street?!?

My Chief showed me a background check on a local frequent flier. Holy hell! I know New Mexico is a liberal state with lean Judges; but this is ridiculous!!!

This guy is only 30 years old.

You need to send him to Texas.

The judicial system tends to give multiple breaks for everything up to the real heinous crimes.

The habitualized probably means Habitual Criminal

The only thing I see on his record that would normally have got prison time is the Aggravated Burglary.

With the high cost of prison space, everything else on that list is "minor" in the eyes of the courts. (I am using the bean counters terms not my own.)



Most would have been early releases if the counts go too high.

Habitualized(Whats this mean?

As Iowa has stated, in Colo it would mean he has suffered enough Felony or combination of Misdemeanors to be adjudicated an Habitual Criminal. Prosecutors usually add that separate charge for sentencing enhancement

[TheKansan]

There are countless others just like him walking the streets. There is not enough space in prison to lock up these kind of people.

Life (in jail) on the installment plan!

Last III I ran on a guy returned 32 pages.

So I put them in a binder........

Even the jail break / escape?

[Iowa #1603]

Even the jail break / escape?

At the most that is a 5 yr prison term -------and ONLY if he was a convicted felon and in prison at the time of the escape.
THEN a 5 yr term maxes out at 2.5 yrs and they are free and clear.

If they are awaiting trial and escape it is usually a misdemeanor----------

With the exception of the "jail break" and burglary- all the other charges seem to misdemeanors- ie low end. Not trying to stand up for the waste of human flesh, BUT I've seen alot of instances where officers throw in "battery against them" any time a dumb *** flinches or even puts up a mild form of resistance. Here in Ca we used to see alot of younger officers hooking people up for "reisisting"- a misd. on some C/S charges, making that the primary charge for the arrest.

I would SERIOUSLY ask what type of report writing the officers making the arrest completed, that the prosecutor, and the court went for such a low end charge as well- Recently stopped an "obvious tweeker" who had a high bail felony warrant out of oklahoma( strange enough it was only extraditable from adjoining states) His was for criminal trespass and destruction of property- he told me honestly that his charge was for a beer run while he was on probation( of course narcotics), and he didn't pay enough for the "deuce deuce" bottle he was buying and tried to run- when he ran, he slipped and fell into a SNACK rack, knocking down the merchandise, hence the "destruction of property"- a quick phone call from the location of the "ped stop" confirmed by the Co.Sheriffs warrants unit, that they would NOT extradite him, and that apparently he DID break some items at a convenience store. end result-no dope on him, and the knucklehead got a jay walking ticket and a "goodbye".

We deal with knuckleheads everyday in LE. sometiems they solve themse as a problem( by either going straight, or catchign a bullet from their equally dumb*** associates) and soetimes they excalate to full blown dirt bags, huritng citizens, us, or being hurt by us. Its part of the game...

On a positive note, if he's messing around with meth his life expectancy is shorter than the ours Ya gotta keep positive.

Come to Texas, work in Dallas county where I have arrested people who had previously been convicted of Murder, and got probation. That criminal history is nothing compared to some of the hooks I've dealt with. I charged a guy with Assault/Public servant, he also tried to take my gun, and he got 5 years probation.
