California: Suspect Arrested 3 Times in 12 Hours Thanks to Zero-Bail Policy

A suspect was arrested three times over the course of 12 hours by Orange County, California, law enforcement officials thanks to the state’s newly enacted zero-bail policy for accused criminals charged with a variety of crimes.

Dijon Landrum, 24-years-old, was first arrested by the Glendora Police Department on the morning of April 29 after he was allegedly caught breaking into a vehicle and attempting to steal it. When police arrived at the scene, they said Landrum tried to drive off in the stolen car, along with stolen property and narcotics.

Landrum was arrested but quickly released thanks to California’s newest zero-bail policy for most suspects accused of misdemeanors and felonies considered “low-level.” The policy was passed by the state’s Judicial Council in early April as part of a larger effort to empty prisons during the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

About an hour after Landrum’s release, the Glendora Police Department was called after eyewitnesses said a man was walking through their neighborhood with a box and stealing items off residents’ front lawns. . .

After his second arrest in a matter of hours, Landrum was released again thanks to the zero-bail policy. (Read more from “California: Suspect Arrested 3 Times in 12 Hours Thanks to Zero-Bail Policy” HERE)
