I heard on the scanner that it was a shooting. Is that true?

At the time of his arrest DeJesus Collins was on home detention from WCDC. Why was this man on the streets. If his medical condition is so bad that he requires to be limited to home detention he should not be wandering the streets. If this is not bad enough, he posted bail on this charge and was released to the streets. Why doesn't he have an electronic monitor on his ankle. I was at the council meeting when the current ankle monitor program was discussed. The current model being used has GPS. Maybe DDD should pay closer attention to the home monitoring system.

Anon 5:14, I agree and good question but in reality they all get released before they should. I spoke to a deputy who said the guy was pistolwhipped or something like that.

DeJesus Collins was trespassing, told by an officer to leave, left AND THEN RETURNED. The charge should be more than trespassing.
