Why would they let him go to a doctors appointment without a police escort? Sounds like judicial system isn’t too bright is it? The judge should have had an officer go with him especially if he is an inmate
Then people would whine about wasting taxpayers money.
Good on him .I think we need to focus on bigger issues. He will be dead in a ditch from overdosing anyway.
Have they found him yet?
