Rock-throwing suspect released to make way for minor drug offenders

Cincinnati has been on edge for months, as rocks and cinderblocks have been sailing through the windows of moving vehicles. Several serious injuries have resulted.

On Wednesday, a 41-year-old man was arrested for a series of rock-throwings in the vicinity of Taft Road.

It turns out though that he should have been in jail all along.

The man has a record of other major violent crimes going back at least 13 years, and he is a registered sex offender. This summer, he was sentenced to 180 days in jail for exposing himself in public.

But the jail term was deferred because of jail overcrowding.

The jail is too crowded because authorities lock up everyone who commits victimless crimes such as possessing even a small amount of marijuana.

The county is so tough on hippies who smoke one joint that it has to release sex offenders who throw rocks at cars! Only in BushWorld can someone face a harsher punishment for using a gram of marijuana than for being a repeat sex offender.
