Sierra Hotel LEO”s. Perfect example of someone who needs to be locked up. Court commissioner needs to go.
“Released with electronic monitoring”… he was already prohibited from having a gun, due to prior crimes.
The was arrested for ignoring this and having a loaded gun and a loaded magazine…. So now he gets— a vacation at home and an ankle monitor…
Ankle monitors won’t stop him from shooting someone if he wants to.
