Spero: According to the Boston Herald, Massachusetts state police are searching for Martin Billones Santiago, 49, of the Dominican Republic. Santiago is a fugitive who is accused of scamming more than $1 million in food stamps. He was scheduled for trial on Monday but did not show up.
Authorities say that he cut off his court-ordered GPS monitoring bracelet and went on the lam.
Golly, that’s a big surprise, isn’t it?
How on earth does anyone scam over a $1M in food stamps?! This sounds like complete gov’t incompetence — like the IRS sending multiple checks to the an address with 100 different names.
Send the bill to the DNC for pushing for this illegal bullshit!
If he flees back to Central America that’s not a bad thing. During my years in law enforcement, I observed that an arrest warrant often had the same (or better) effect as a trespass warning.
If he only cost the taxpayers $1M that’s a lot cheaper than the bill we would have had if he was sent to prison and then stayed in the US sucking on the tit for the rest of his life.
Arrested in June 2015 and was to appear in court April 2017?
$1 1/2 Million dollars stolen and only a $75,000 bond?
Hell of a lousy judicial system.
Hope he hadn’t paid his attorney yet.
He can live like a king in Dominican Republic.
Where in the world is Martin Santiago??
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Shocked. Shocked I tell you. Shocked.
Judicial Incompetence/incontinence.
Time to hold both Defense Attorneys and the Judge who set low bail personally liable for criminal clients/defendants who jump bail.
And if the defendant skips the country, the State confiscattes the personal assets of both lawyer and judge. No dollar limits to liability, and bankruptcy is not an option.
At one stroke this eliminates scumbag attorneys whose role is to thwart justice, and also Leftist judges who enable society’s collapse.
Other countries including Britain have had similar laws. They worked.
Massachusetts, with its RINO Governor, Charlie (Tall Deval) Baker, spends $1.5B annually on illegals. This madness must end.
MAJack,
Resistance is futile.
I heard on Howie that the judge/defense weasel may have ‘warned’ him…
Maybe if we treated criminals here more like they treat them in Mexico and other places in the world, we wouldn’t have so many criminals.
Oh, he was living in Masshole land. Who gives
a shit?
