Criminals love it here. Every hustler in the Bay Area is putting down roots in Antioch yet city leadership ignores this fact and continues to create a climate which says “welcome.” Darn shame!

The only bad part about this is that the officer is going to spend more time writing the report than the time the person arrested is going to spend in jail

If everything the police allege is true, prosecuters will have an easy time giving this person prison time considering his prior record. Somehow, I don’t think it takes a cop 1-3 years to enter some items into evidence but I could be wrong – maybe in Brentwood it does, who knows. If only people’s IQ was even 1% the size of their bank accounts, maybe they could form a coherent thought that was actually based in reality.
