This is an arrest that should of never of had to take place, nor the fight that insued. Thanks to a mistake by someone at the local jail, this defendent was released when we posted his bonds. The mistake was that he had a zero bond hold for another county. When you have a zero bond your stuck in jail and can’t get out.
So the jail releases him and calls me about 1 hour later to let me know that we need to return him to the jail!! So the defendent comes in and I explain the mistake the jail made and that I have to return him to the jail. He says “fuck that” and makes a run for the door. I quickly bear hug him and throw him onto the sofa in my office. He squirms and yells.. mind you he’s not a small guy..he’s short but heavy and adding the fear of jail, he’s tough to wrestle with.
I manage to hold on to him and get him cuffed up. Thank goodness… kudos to the idiots that weren’t doin their job and cause me to get in this situation. Pain in my ass….
