I wonder if Douglas Robinson of Cincinnati, Ohio could be eligible for a Guinness World Record. He’s been arrested 74 times in the last two years. Robinson has been busted for panhandling, trespassing and resisting arrest, and is always quickly released due to overcrowding. On Monday, he received a mandatory 90 day sentence after a drug bust, but by the time that happened, he had already been sprung due to lack of jail space. On Tuesday though, he was busted for drugs again and this time he wasn’t released before sentencing. From Cincinnati.com:
“The sheriff has to prioritize,” (the county’s director of pretrial services Wendy) Niehaus said. “Is it Douglas that he keeps? Or is the person charged with aggravated robbery? That’s the bottom line…”
Hamilton County Municipal Judge Ted Berry was so shocked when he saw Robinson’s record Wednesday that he asked if it was a typographical error. It wasn’t a mistake, courtroom staff assured him. Berry set Robinson’s bond at $9,500.
