Do Prisoners Make Bond and Begin Robbing Again
In regard to recent burglaries and highway robberies in the city Chief of Detectives ET Jett said it is his opinion some alleged criminals bound over to the higher court have posted bonds and returned to crime. He stressed it as a supposition, noting no positive proof, while acknowledging many arrested have fled temporarily or faced heavy sentences. The piece cites police claims of ongoing depredations during a burglary scare and questions where new criminals originate, with ages of burglars noted as mostly 16 to 24, and a racial breakdown among those charged. Evidence from Judge Roan's court shows 29 cases tried in four days, including 13 burglaries and a highway robbery, yielding several multi-year sentences and substantial fines.
