I knew he wasn't black, (the odds of being arrested 97 without being fatally shot is too small) but is he an ex-cop or related?
What I see from the banana republic it doesn't take too much, certainly repeat offenses to put you in jail for decades/life.
This guy still can drive and what's even more strange is the lack of name and mugshot.
American news invariably shame their criminals, publish the address etc..
So who is this guy?

Nobody. Washington seems to have a lot of repeat offenders that are in and out of the legal system. There's been multiple instances where someone out on bail commits another crime and makes headlines.

that's Epstein levels of protection if you're still free.

This guy is aiming for the high score apparently? It's astounding this man has such a lengthy record and was still roaming free. I wonder how long until he's out again?
