Are we shocked that it fails? Read on. They have made it fail. On electronic monitoring for 2 gun cases, man is charged with having 5 more after pulling a mini-AK47 outside Cook County jail, prosecutors say - CWB Chicago
Not only did he disregard the "rules" of his release, but he also isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
A man who was supposed to be home on electronic monitoring for illegal possession of a machine gun is now charged with having five more guns after he allegedly pulled up to the Cook County jail and pointed a mini-AK47 at one of the cellblocks.
Prosecutors said Charles Monroe, 19, later told a jail inmate that he thought he heard someone banging on a jail window, so he was going to shoot the gun into the air. He didn’t fire the weapon, though, so he offered to come back and shoot it on another day that would be convenient for the inmate, prosecutors said.
Oh, and the electronic monitoring has been made sort of optional.
Monroe is not charged with escaping electronic monitoring because state legislators last year decriminalized “EM” absences of less than 48 hours. They also gave people on EM permission to leave the house two days a week to run errands.
He was running an errand to the county lockup. That's all.
At least this time he's being held without bail.
