When are they going to realize those home monitor things don’t do anything but cost money. The amount of people that cut them off and flee is ridiculous!! Put their as*ses in jail and dont let them have the option of fleeing! #problemsolved
Actually, I think the convict pays for the equipment. But you are most correct, they do not work. Someone should not be on home detention for weapon charges of all things. If she is not in the Park, look for her in either District or Capital Heights.
Weapons charge and home detention? Hope they understand the ACCUSED needs to be locked up now. She was given home detention and proved she can’t be trusted.
