After is said and done, I would not be surprised that this individual has a string of priors and went thru the process of arrest, conviction, sentencing and then released only to the a reset and repeat. If I am being a bit premature on my assessment…my apologies. Aside from the innocents whose auto was stolen it also placed the safety of the general public and law enforcement in jeopardy. I believe there will be a time when an innocent(s) will be mortally injured due to the growing convicted criminal population being let out to continue preying on same without a sense of impunity…sad.
