Stoner Released on EM

As suspected, the "prosecutors" attempted to get him held without bail for a couple misdemeanors. They did manage to manufacture a couple of felonies out of the whole thing though:

• A Cook County judge on Tuesday rejected a prosecutor’s request to have a man who allegedly stalked and threw rocks at the home of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker jailed as a safety threat. Judge William Fahy decided that the public’s safety could be assured by releasing the man, 38-year-old Adam Dabash, on electronic monitoring instead, according to court records.

  Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord Rodgers told Fahy that surveillance video showed Dabash walking outside the governor’s home in the 1400 block of North Astor around 9:45 a.m. Monday. Dabash allegedly stopped twice to throw baseball-sized rocks at the mansion’s windows, then returned to throw another rock at the windows. She said three of the governor’s windows were damaged, with one rock recovered from inside the mansion and two found outside.

  Rodgers estimated the governor’s losses at $7,900.

The "stalking" charge arises out of his tossing some love letters over the fence. No word to which Pritzker the letters were addressed.

He did utter this truth in lockup however:

• Dabash destroyed the mattress in his police holding cell and told officers at the police station that Illinois has a “m****r f****r for a governor.”

Amen brother. Amen.
