NEW EVIDENCE: SERIOUS REPEAT OFFENDERS RELEASED FROM JAIL AT ALARMING RATE
Just last month, police in Albuquerque cracked down on auto theft and arrested 23 accused felons. Altogether, the arrested offenders have nearly 200 cases against them with over 300 charges. Through their criminal careers they have around 150 arrests and nearly 50 felony convictions. The worst part? 70 percent of these arrested offenders have ALREADY been released from jail.

For example, repeat offender Jeff Brasher was arrested for crashing a stolen car into a police station. It was his fourth felony offense, and yet, he was released the very next day. Just a few days later, he was back in jail on a felony bench warrant and then simply released again. In the past, Brasher has been convicted of auto theft, burglary, larceny, and conspiracy. And, in the past, he’s been charged with car theft, possession of drugs, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. This is not someone who should be let out of jail and roaming our streets while he waits for his court hearings. It's unacceptable, and it's indicative of a criminal justice system that needs repair.
With less than 48 hours left in the 2018 Legislative Session, now is the critical time for lawmakers to follow through on their promises to pass legislation that will fight crime in New Mexico.
For years, I have urged lawmakers to take our crime problem seriously. As I said in my State of the State address, New Mexico should no longer be an island of leniency in a sea of tough-on-crime states.
We have less than 48 hours for lawmakers to get to work and finally help solve our crime problem.
Today, at long last, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee is hearing important bills that will help fight crime in New Mexico. Please call the members and urge them to vote to keep New Mexicans safe in their communities.

This defendant beat his ex-girlfriend while holding their 7-month-old baby Thursday evening by kicking her in the chest, causing her to fall back and hit her head on a table, and also made threats he was going to killing her. He eventually left but came back one day later with a gun. The ex-girlfriend was able to call for help.
Gonzalez-Ramos was arrested on an outstanding warrant and charged with child abuse as well as possession of a controlled substance for drug paraphernalia and traces of drugs found in his vehicle. But no big surprise... a Judge released him today on his own recognizance, with just a promise to come back to court. They must think he poses no risk to the community by his current actions.

Let's take a quick glance at how the Arnold Foundation’s Public Safety Assessment’s tool deals with out-of-state persons arrested on felony drug charges while passing through New Mexico. Here we have a father and son arrested by the New Mexico State Police and charged with having 39 pounds of ma*****na in their vehicle. Both appeared before a Judge the next day, and based on the Arnold Tool, they were released ROR, in spite of having no ties to New Mexico.
What assurances are in place to see that these two guys return to New Mexico from St. Louis, Missouri to answer for these charges? NONE! Secondly, after doing some quick research, w**d in New Mexico on the street is selling for $250 to $350 per ounce...16 ounces per pound could "earn " someone $4000 to $5600 per pound times the 39 pounds they were charged for = $156,000 and as much as $218,400. All that and free to go!
