ReplyDeleteGuess Hartford State's Attorney Gail Hardy must have been out of town that day. Otherwise would have taken 6 months for an arrest warrant to be even read by Gail. Or she would have just denied it without a weapon. Hartford residents you got lucky on this one.
Im sure he will engage the police in a life threatening car pursuit. Criminals dont care much for safety. Maybe he could attend the next council meeting as an escort for jennings, and why not a dispatch job too ....
ReplyDeleteWith 39 arrests (Just in Hartford), WHY was he still on the street?
ReplyDeleteI hear that Pedro is looking for another aide in his staff to handle community relations...this criminal would fit in perfectly with Pedro.
ReplyDeleteI read in the Courant last week that HPD busted 10 Prostitutes, Pedro should have told them to let that ride, because he is quilty as a grown man of doing the same!
ReplyDeleteAgain he is the "do as I say, not as I do" Mayor.
Kevin, I hope at least one of those Prostitutes read your blog and their Attorney in gest brings Pedro's loose, lieing lifestyle into question as part of their defense or plea.
