    Hmmmmmm, this dude was out on bond for the same thing………..and they allow him bond again? Anybody else see a problem here? Why is this allowed to happen and how do judges that allow it get elected over and over? LEO’s go in and bust a piece of vermin like this and before the ink is dry on the paperwork, he’s back out doing the same thing! No wonder they get a little frustrated!!!

    Thankfully those gun laws kept a felon from purchasing a firearm.

    Think about this he was out on bail for doing the same thing.Is this a revolving door or are Bonds to low?

    I don’t think that revolver is going to revolve too good with duck tape !!!!!

    quite sure he’ll have no problem raising the 10% bail of only $7,000 the judge should have stipulated a cash only bond! these bondsman fees are saved by the perps for their inevitable arrest.
