Let Em Go!
- One woman stole two plums and some candy from a Save-A-Lot store.
A man swiped eight bags of Snickers bars and a pair of scissors from a CVS Pharmacy. And another man with mental problems and a history of loitering at O’Hare Airport was caught trespassing there again.
Those low-level offenders spent a total of 227 days in the Cook County Jail awaiting trial at a cost of $47,905 to taxpayers — a situation Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart calls “heart-breaking.” At a news conference Tuesday, he said he’s looking for ways to keep such non-violent offenders from having extended stays behind bars before trial.
Usually, they can’t get out of jail because they can’t afford to put up money for bail. Judges, following state law, boost their bonds when such defendants have a history of failing to show up for court hearings, Dart said.
Dart doesn't seem to understand that people in jail aren't out there committing crimes. That's a win right there. How about a minimal bread-and-water diet to cut costs? Jail food shouldn't be something to look forward to.
Perhaps the lengthy stay in Dart's custody has something to do with judges (and their staffs) not working full days? We're sure the media could run two weeks worth of "SPECIAL REPORTS" if they put a minimal amount of effort into it. Perhaps excessive delays by defense attorneys? Too many continuances asked for by prosecutors? Not enough deals? Diversion to some nonsense boot camps? Or other nonsense programs that never work? How about allowing the theft victims or trespassed property owners to exact a pound of flesh via caning? There are dozens of reforms/remedies that could be applied to the system to minimize the custodial time.
As for it being "heartbreaking," go rescue a puppy or something...you'll feel better.

Tom Dart is in the wrong line of work.
I met Tom Dart back in the 1980s when he was a young ASA in Markham court. Room 101. Retail theft court. He was a decent guy back then and understood what prosecuting and incarcerating a shoplifter was for- a deterent from committing crimes in the future.
Now, he's totally lost it. I don't know what happened to the guy, but I think turning into a full fledged politician is one of them.
Dart is an embarrassment to all law enforcement. This is what you get when you elect a political hack lawyer to a law enforcerment position
Maybe Dart can have these unfortunate miscreants move in with him. Sounds like they just need a roof over their heads and a warm meal.
Sharia Law. Come on, you know you want it here. A little caning, some whipping, throw in a load of stoning for good measure. The thought of it gets me excited (if you know what I mean - wink wink.)
Dart is a democrat and democrats just don't get it.
Duh, the bonds are so high because the offenders don't show up for court, Dart said it himself, but he still wants to let them out.
Hey Dart, it isn't your jail. It is ours, the tax payers jail.
Now go talk to Periwinkle and Alverez and get things moving in the court system.
The incompatence in Cook county government makes the Chicago city council look like a group of Ivy league graduates.
Hey 4551 can you please shut hell up!! Nobody wants to hear your voice tying up zone 10 with the dumbest fucking shit when you're working Vrii. Tell your cars at roll call to gas up their vehicles, you don't need to come over the twice a night. Swear you're fucking worse than 1070!
In stead of jail sentence them to get a job.
many of these criminals are probably safer in jail than on the streets. Especially if the weather stays warm.
I've run into plenty of offenders who said they won't set foot DuPage county because they KNOW they'll be held until they go to trial.
Of course it's way too late for that in Cook county.
I heard that somewhere out in Arizona there is a Sheriff that fully understands and applies the concept of jail.
Keep in mind that Tony Robinson, when he was confronted by the Madison Poleeceman, was "serving" a SUSPENDED SENTENCE for HOME INVASION AND ARMED ROBBERY! One can only assume that the Judge also felt heart broken for this young future enroller in College and rather than let him learn any type of lesson at all...
The State pays Foster parents $1500 a month per kid $3000 if they have special needs, maybe the County can set up a program similar to that. I know I would be able to handle a few in my basement per month, probably would never have to work VRI again.
How about you get 10, 20, 50 or a hundred pages of arrests and we throw you in a wood chipper? How about that?
A bunch of drunk fraternity members sing a racist song about not letting blacks into their fraternity using a really bad word. They are expelled and thrown out of their house in two days.
Black musicians sing about killing police officers and shooting people and they are given music awards and boatloads of cash. Does anyone see how crazy this country has gotten?
Doesn't this totally go against the philosophy of our great and almighty police superintendent? Get them for the small stuff, broken windows etc... so it doesn't lead to bigger crimes. What do they think is going to happen when the criminals realize that there are no repercussions for their actions. RECIDIVISM that's what happens you dorks. A 100 little crimes committed by one person, nail them to a tree the first or second time and see what happens.
He continues to refer to the Jail as "His Jail". He's got that Obama mindset where he feels he can cherry pick the duties and responsibilities of his office. I caught the YouTube video where he's doing a radio interview and yukking it up with his interviewers about screwing with his employees by assigning them to posts as far away from their homes as possible. This cocksucker has lived a public life of entitlement since he was handed his first office. He continually refused to enforce the laws he swore to uphold and spends the bulk of his time screwing with his own employees. His office is embroiled in lawsuits filed by his own employees and from what's been reported, his purposeful understaffing has resulted in employees getting their asses kicked by prisoners. And when he's called on the carpet for his incompetence he responds like a social worker or public defender. He doesn't belong in public office and if the Cook County Democratic Committeemen had any balls, they'd slate somebody else for the Sheriff's spot and deny him any future office in this county. He's a menace. And for Christ sake get a haircut, or toupee trim and lose the Mount Carmel fleece he seems to live in.
Yet the clown that got killed by the police in Madison was still at home after being convicted of a felony robbery last fall.
"Heartbreaking?" That moron Dart is in the wrong line of work.
Here's something that was heartbreaking, going to Rick Francis' funeral and looking at his heartbroken wife and daughters. That was heartbreaking. Listening to those goddamn bagpipes once again. That was heartbreaking.
But shitheads and crazy people sitting in jail. That makes someone in this City safe. Definitely not heartbreaking.
Dart needs to go do his apprenticeship with Joe Arpaio in Arizona. Learn about heartbreaking from Sheriff Joe.
Close the jails and fence off the west/south side. Hope for the best.......nothing to see here......move along.
Maybe Tom Shart should take some notes from Sherriff Joe in Maricopa County, AZ. Pink jumpsuits, tents, labor, etc. Make jail suck for criminals and they may think before committing a crime. Lol, I forgot, it's Cook County. Nobody cares if you commit a crime, because white oppression made you do it.
What about all the mentally ill people that hole up there in the winter for 3 hots and a cot? Is it heartbreaking to keep them off the streets, with a roof over their heads, and out of trouble? Hmmmm??? Inquiring minds want to know.
Get this ass out of office. He's an embarrassment
Sav-A-Lot kicks ASS!
Maybe Dart can get some tips from Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, AZ.
It's actually CHEAPER to keep them locked up when you consider how expensive it is to keep them on the street.
When they are locked up they shouldn't be collecting welfare and other freebies from taxpayers -- that's at least $20k a year right there.
When they are locked up they are not making babies -- each costing about $1 million over a lifetime in future taxpayer subsidies.
And yes, when they are locked up they are not committing crime.
Has nothing to do with crime. It is a fight between Dart and Prekwinkle over money. Other players are the Chief Judge and the Public Defenders office, who each have their allegiances.
I agree with Sherrif Dart, let the low hanging fruit go and keep the more serious offenders in jail. Because there are too many offenders for trespassing, suspended license, etc. in jail we don't have room for more serious offenders.
I ve had guys tell me "jail" was a break from the streets. Three meals, exercise, TV , hanging out with the guys and being baby sat wasn't punishment. And isn't stealing snickers a life sentence ?
Dart....is he that incompetent?....really? has he taken incompetence to a new level?
periwinkle wants everybody out anyway. Just following orders.
"How about a minimal bread-and-water diet to cut costs? Jail food shouldn't be something to look forward to." -- SCC
Oh, it isn't.
"Breakfast" -- Lukewarm brown dishwater, made with about one tablespoon of instant coffee per gallon. Rest of coffee is stolen for resale by banger "workers." Slice of cold fried bologna. Ladle of some kind of slop "cereal." Maybe a piece of yesterday's bread. Tiny carton of undrinkable fake "juice" that is so acid it'll burn your stomach out. Sugar packets are stolen by bangers to make hooch.
"Lunch" -- two bologna sandwiches. Tiny bag of chips or cookies. Small apple or orange. Neutrons get one lunch bag if they are lucky, while each banger takes about five bags for trading and just lets them rot if no takers.
"Dinner" -- Various steamed and boiled messes ladled into dirty tray.
Bangers sit at tables. Neutrons sit on cement floor to eat.
Plastic-coated milk cartons are burned as fuel, using steel bunks as grilles to heat those sandwiches. Paint scorching off metal, whole place full of toxic smoke.
Bangers extort rent from the weaker neutrons and mentals, give up your sto' if you got any, and the unneeded food is merely used as gambling stakes for their endless table games. Bangers all have full $50/week commissary money coming in to them. Some COs will even bring in takeout food for them.
...and the deck shaves once a week with ten disposable razors provided to share among fifty-seventy men with HIV, hepatitis, TB, etc.
It's already the worst filthy dirty, overcrowded, disease-ridden, screaming, banging, shattering-TV-noise, never-sleep place in the world -- and a lot of people in there don't even notice. Hell itself is no deterrent to crime -- armed, uniformed policemen are routinely attacked on the street. Twiddling the knobs at CCJ with various little torture fantasies won't help. Problems are more outside, with the Alinsky bunch working as hard as it can to destroy society. Everything else follows from that.
...and the John Howard Association "accredits" a place with sewage running down the walls. Bunch of blind men, giving each other little "awards" and plaques and s__t.
How about a minimal bread-and-water diet to cut costs? Jail food shouldn't be something to look forward to.
How about we give that crappy turkey bologna we have in the dist. lockups??? It LOOKS terrible!
Sure idiot. Let them all figure out there are no repercussions. No place will be safe. These asshole will swarm places and steal whatever they please. Prices go up even further. The jail is not yours you fool. Do your job or get the hell out NOW
scc just for point of clarification there is no boot camp any more dart closed it down some time ago
Only when we accept Sharia Law will we have a peaceful society.
Maybe outsource prisons to Mexico , I bet they can do it cheaper . It will create jobs in Mexico .
I agree with Sherrif Dart, let the low hanging fruit go and keep the more serious offenders in jail. Because there are too many offenders for trespassing, suspended license, etc. in jail we don't have room for more serious offenders.

Keep sipping the kool-aid bro, on one side we got the supe talking bout broken windows approach to crime fighting and on the other the sheriff letting dudes go for petty crime - you guys wanna make up your mind what u want !!! I worked in the jail prior to CPD and let me tell you that place is a high school for most of them, jail is not a deterrent by any means, they know that if they stretch they're case out long enough with continuances that eventually they cop a plea and take time served , that way they don't gotta go downstate (which they actually don't care too much for by their own admission - maybe because they aren't treated like hotel guests there). Sheriff Arapaio knows how to run a jail ! Make want to never come back !
Sorry this is off topic SCC but I just want to give a big shout out to alderman Mary "POTHOLE" O'Connor 41st who has street crews out doing cold patch on pot holes in the 41st Ward. I guess those 5-10 calls I made to your office last spring and summer, span of 6 months, finally got answered now that your in a run off and looking to get beat big time. I know your feelings are really " crushed" but if you would have just been responsive and done your job to represent the people of the 41st, leading the demand that Rahm fund the pensions with his 1.6 billion in TIF money since your Ward has an overwhelming amount of city workers and not be a rubber stamp for Rahm maybe you have been re elected...... But now your out .......
When did ASA's start approving felony charges on food? Sounds like more to the story in each case or maybe Dart in misinformed
Let them all out and then see the huge increase in bond default warrants stack up. Arrest them on the bench warrants and then let them out again. start the cycle over again. what is he complaining about, i saw the population at the jail is down to 8,500 or so. wasn't long ago 11k plus were housed there. Speed up the system, pre-trial incarceration isn't designed for long term stay. you have defendants sitting there for 18-24 months and longer, same at the MCC Chicago where the judges on the federal side let cases sit for extended periods.
If you think someone should spend time in the county jail for stealing plums you shouldn't be CPD.
I agree with Sherrif Dart, let the low hanging fruit go and keep the more serious offenders in jail. Because there are too many offenders for trespassing, suspended license, etc. in jail we don't have room for more serious offenders.

Yeah when that 4th and 5th time suspended driver t-bones one of your family members and puts them in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives we'll see how minor you think that is.
I can remember the days when town drunks would tie one on around Christmas and Thanksgiving, get arrested, and spend the holidays in jail with the usual turkey & all the trimmings at the taxpayers' expense.

You're comparing a private organization to private individuals...and I'm not sure why. If NOBLE, NAACP or some black frat was doing the same thing and ended up on the news it would be similar "calling for heads" consequences etc. Instead you compare them to musicians who by and large say and do whatever they want anyway, with minor retribution. It was a poor comparison. OU lost a top recruit over that incident. It hits people in their pockets. That's why they care. And don't try to say I'm defending the musicians. They make money off trash because their is a market for trash and we consume trash. By the way, the song was more than about not having black members. Maybe you don't recall the swinging from a tree reference. Question for you Mr. Common Sense: was the song/chant created while they were drunk? Do you excuse all behavior and words used by drunks to you?

Remember that when DCFS takes the kids and places them with their auntie. Most of the time they live in the same house so nothing changes except + $1,500 or $3,000 added to household for each kid.
I agree. No need to lock them up and waste money for BS.

2nd amendment guy. is this the type we need for the cause? be careful of these types. and the sovereign citizen ones.
dont fucking worry about why i have my hand on my gun in my holster. but he doesn't want to answer any of the police questions. pussy.
notice then how lax the officers become because they don't want to appear hostile towards this guy. arms crossed. he won right there. this guy made these officers go against every instinct they had with a man with a gun call.
my hand is on my gun, holstered. if you want to put your hand on yours, go for it but tread carefully. next move could be your last. then we can talk about the constitution all you want.

They are kept in jail because the first 10 time they made bond/I bond they didn't show up for court or they committed other crimes.
Dart is a mush. He actually said that people that only steal don't belong in a place,like cook county jail. God help us!
make more room in the jails....make more jails....make more prisons.....lock up more folks, and for longer periods of time....rehabilitation?....maybe, maybe not, and as Hillary said, what difference does it make?....the prison industry could be the fastest growing in the country.....
OT but very important:
Willie Wilson endorses Chuy.
Rahm n his handlers will never admit it but Rahm's campaign is listing and taking on water!
How does it feel to be a despised asshole Rahm?
Charles Thomas of abc7 says Willie Wilson will endorse Chuy Garcia for Mayor. Rahm must know now he's finished.
Dart: sheriff of Mayberry
At O'Hare last week - I don't travel on a routine basis, but this is the first time I've seen this - walking towards Terminal 1 from the CTA and a guy with no bags and practically asking the wall to kiss him. I told TSA but who gives a shit. Why are the CTA ragnuts allowed to do this? Apparently the powers that be do not care what the tourists think.
Rant off.

Start a movement and urge the Illinois Legislature to legalize the theft of plums. As it is, it is Retail Theft. With previous theft convictions, a subsequent Retail Theft offense is a felony. This came at the urging of retail business groups who were getting hurt bad by thieves. Or, you can contribute to a fund to pay for those plums. You already pay for their cell phones through a monthly charge on your cell phone bill.
You have to remember that most of the inmates at the Crook County Jail have been arrested and/or indicted, but have not been found guilty in court. Therefore innocent until proven guilty. Speedier trials would help a lot, but tbe Fat Cat Crook County Politicians and their puppet Judges do not care because they are rich little Democrat-Communists, who do not care about wasting the Middle Class Crook County/Illinois Taxpayers Dollars, and are not held accountable for anything.

What part of the fact that we have limited resources is it that you don't understand? Once again, Cook County Jail only has room for a certain number of offenders. So it makes sense to house and keep the most violent thugs there. I suppose according to your way of thinking, keep the woman who stole a bag of chips and let the Satan Disciple gang banger who shot three people go.
Stealing "plums" or any other food item can't be upgraded to a felony charge no matter what the dollar amount of the food. Dart is obviously lying to the media when he stated that people are in his jail because of stealing food. Absolute 100% lie.
Dart didn't mention the fact that he is the sheriff of Cook County, and a bumbling one at that. How many cases of escapes, guards beating prisoners, etc. have we heard about? And something the public doesn't hear about- Cook County refusing to accept prisoners from local PD's, wanted on their very own (Cook Co.) warrants? WTF??? So the solution, in Dart's feeble mind- is clear- just let everyone go! Brilliant! What do we need Dart for again?
Off topic: Well as I was passing by with my partner on a traffic stop I seen two female officers a blond one and a dark haired one. I saw them walk a guy that was uncuffed to the front seat of his own vehicle and look under the seat. The male removed an item. The item was a knife and a book bag. Funny thing was the guy was handcuffed but she uncuffed him and let the guy go unintended and search the vehicle. I pulled up as they did the stop. They never searched the vehicle themselves. She waited behind at a safe distance well as safe as can be I guess.Boys and girls please be careful. I asked around and someone told me she scored 50 something on the sargent test. Wow this person scored 50 something on the test and this is the person who will be leading our younger officers. Please be careful. Watch your six. Back to story I asked them if they needed help and both looked at me like why don't you mind your business. Make it home is the name of the game and at times when people offer to help its the fact they wanna help not being nosey. M.L. Area North

Forget the misd stuff, Dart and Preckwinkle and other dogooders (public defenders and judges) allow the illegal sex offender to walk out of CC jail even after a conviction. Ain't that nice....just let them roam free in Chicago...what about the children? Rahmbo? Chuy?? Obama and the like aren't looking out for anybody except themselves and pander to this crap.
The shit that goes on at 26th st and that jail should be front,page news.
News media asks how will mr. Garcia pay for 1,000 cops
Cut vri overtime
Have they asked how will rahm pay for college tuition for CPS students , how will he pay for 100,000 illegal immigrants in the sanctuary city
Of course not , did they ask him if he knew how obama care would be paid for when congressmen were bullied into voting for it
Did he ask how can citizens pay two time more for water bills in 3 years
Did he ask where did the $30,000,000 + slush fund to crush my opponents come from
It came from the 1% wealthy that us working class democrats have been warned about corrupting politicians with their money

Look at the rap sheets of the people in county for suspended or revoked license. Being suspended or revoked usually isn't shitbirds only arrests/rodeo. Suspended and revoked upgrades are just another tool to get the shitbirds off street.
Noone is more anti CPD then this imposter of a Superintendent. He and his boy Tracey went on yet another trip where he spoke on race relations. The only reason why his department has not had a Ferguson type incident is because the two questionable shootings the department has had have been kept out of the media, one of which is in the hands of a Probate Attorney. Lets see how this pans out.
I attended a CPD promtion ceremony for the first time in years and the Mayor himself was there for press time. He and the Mayor both boasted about how everyone is judged, assigned and promoted by performance and not by who you know but every promotion, someone from Chief Tracy's shop has gotten meritoriously promoted including a Sergeant who retired one day and came back the next as the Director of R and D. This is the same Superintendent that has been arrrsted and convicted of a crime but moved to fire a PO last month for less.
Leo Schmidt left because he was sick of his BS and took Roti with him. Chief Roti left because he saw the writing on the wall. The Superintendent is dismantling his entire Bureau and putting all of his Task Forces under his boy Tracey. Look at the new general orders. And his girl is in charge of writing the orders.
His arrogance alone puts our department as a whole in jeopardy. All of this while we are fighting for our pensions but he has spent over 400 million dollars on overtime and saying its his strategies that is driving down crime. What strategies? It changes everyday. So what is your department's strategies today? You don't even know.
1987 Captains pay D5 $52,551.00
1987 FOP reps pay D% $52,551.00
1987 PO pay 30 years $37,705.00
2010 Captains pay 30yrs$119,390.00
+ 127% increase since 1987
2010 FOP Reps pay 30yrs$158,000.00
+ 298% increase since 1987
2010 PO pay 30 yrs $89142.00
+127% increase since 1987
I thought that the FOP Reps wages were suppose to increase the same percentages the PO's wages increase, at least that is what it says in their constitution/bylaw. So with the FOP figures I should have been making $$112,361.00 in 2010 as a PO. Can someone double check my figures. Even if I'm off by a thousand here or there someone has sum splainin to do.

The bag of chips offender is going to I-bond, so if she's in jail, it's for more than just chips.
Turkey dinners during the holidays, were provided by the Salvtion Army, not the taxpayers.

Society needs rules or there is no society. People need to be protected or there is no society.
To 9:36pm. This is in fact true. Been workig same watch with her and omg what a goof. She scored very well on the test with no experience whatsoever on the streets. She has less than 10 years on the Job. Complete waste of an officer let alone supervisor. Do nothing that often talks about other officers mistakes but never reflects on her blindness and stupidity. God help us all with this department with goofs like this. I wouldn't trust this girl passing out radios to officers in the simplest of tasks.

"How about you get 10, 20, 50 or a hundred pages of arrests and we throw you in a wood chipper? How about that?"

Like pasting the old Green Stamps you got at the store into the book. Book gets full, that is it. 100 lesser offenses = one capital offense.
...and you don't even get a toaster out of it.
No one ever runs against dart or the other leaders of cook county government!
If he doesn't want to do his job maybe they should eliminate it and outsource the whole process.
Vanecko justice systems, LLP?
Is he that out of touch or being fed b s that he doesn't know that charges would not be approved for taking food, baby formula etc...
Don't You have to really do something to not get an "I" bond and stay in county jail?
Why don't you give up your salary to house these low level offenders?
I'm trying to remember the name of the black punk and metal bands with anti-cop and violence against cop songs...there are plenty of anti-cop songs by punk and other rock bands, I just can't remember the black ones..sheesh

Think you're talking about Bodycount with Ice-T. Awful.
What Dart and his ilk always fail to mention when giving those examples are...
Those offenders have extensive rap sheets. The 'arrests' do not accurately account for their continual criminal behavior, just the times they were caught.
Then they take such an individual who has shown no remorse,or change of criminal life-style and wait until they are (again) arrested but now for a petty crime and use that isolated minor incident to make him/her as the criminal justice poster child.
Nobody goes to jail in Crook County for stealing two plums.
A loooong and continual cycle of criminal acts,violence, bond forfeitures, violations of supervision, parole, court orders etc are the justification judges use when setting the bond and/or holding in custody..NOT two F---ing plums Lil' Tommie.
Dart has hired DOZENS of his unemployable pals as "Directors" at the County Jail. Fat saleries, cars, no actual duties. Brokwem my as!
What part of the fact that we have limited resources is it that you don't understand? Once again, Cook County Jail only has room for a certain number of offenders. So it makes sense to house and keep the most violent thugs there. I suppose according to your way of thinking, keep the woman who stole a bag of chips and let the Satan Disciple gang banger who shot three people go.

You must be a troll, right? You can't be the police? No one goes to county jail for stealing a bag of chips. It would have to be a large theft, a felony amount, and not food, or multiple arrests for felony amounts. Don't believe the BS in the news or that which comes out of Dart's mouth. He and Preckwinkle are on the same page, way too many black folks in jail, so itmust be a corrupt and racist system.
To 656 am are we talking about the same girl? What district ?
Time for Kurt Schlichter's "community gruel pot" concept.
Tom Dart will grandstand any issue without giving the full context. I work at receiving at Cook County Jail and check criminal histories for new arrived detainees. 99% of them have extensive criminal histories including violent felonies which is usually what the judge uses as the basis for bond. I have seen numerous prisoners with well over 100 arrests get put on EM or given an I bond. Sheriff Dart is a liar to say this rampant at his jail. In, 2002 we had record capacity of 12,500 inmates under former Sheriff Sheehan. Dart now has only 8500 inmates and is shouting from the rooftop the walls are caving in. He is a liar and will doing anything to get on TV. Hence the nickname TV Tommy!!!!
Tracy (sp?) is a first class clown......undermined only by GMac.....the day they get fired, will be a great day for the CPD
Hey leave the future seargeant of 14 alone. She paid her dues. She was on the 06 car and made great arrest all two of them. Her and her bright partner. They are the bright and future hero's of the Chicago Police. I have nothing but the most respect (excuse me I just farted and burped) for this blond bombshell of an officer. She will be a big boss one day. Never was a cop but brags about it then never did a lick of work but just ask her and she will tell you her "war stories"
Let's throw in the attack / assault in Ferguson as a prime example of what happens when the inmates run the asylum. Should be a lawsuit for violation of work place rights by the FOP. Naming the good "Folks" at he DOJ and the Gov of MO. As well as Eric "The Traitor" Holder. Creating a hostile work enviorment and Giving direct orders to increase the risk of the sworn officers trying to do their Job. Or Send in Mr. Tom Dart to reason with the parties and effect chanage...
Tom Dart is a disgrace.

You can't be the police. I've seen people charged with felony retail theft for stealing two bottles of shampoo from Walgreens. Their background was nothing but BS retail thefts but eventually over time some judge got tired of looking at their face and hooked them up.
