DENVER (CBS4) – Police typically use arrest affidavits to simply state the circumstances surrounding an arrest. Last week, a Denver police officer used an arrest affidavit to warn the court not to give a defendant bail.
Robert Avila had been arrested three times in 24 hours. While his initial charges weren’t felonies, officers described him as erratic, incoherent and escalating, but the judges twice released him on a personal recognizance bond, which meant he just had to promise to return for his next court appearance.
Avila’s first arrest came on Oct. 25 just after 10 p.m. Police were called to an apartment building where a resident said a man had kicked in his front door and was inside his apartment.
Police arrested Avila, who was jailed, charged and released on a PR bond. Thirteen hours later, police were called to the Marriot hotel in downtown Denver. They say Avila was refusing to leave and saying things that didn’t make sense.
Once again, he was arrested, jailed, charged and released on a PR bond. Nine hours later, police got a third call. This time, they say, Avila broke into a woman’s apartment and she locked herself in her bedroom in fear. Police say Avila tried to escape when they arrested him and dragged an officer 30 feet down a hallway.
“We are seeing too many cases like this,” said Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen. “This is part and parcel to the challenge that we continue to see where individuals that are involved in multiple crimes are being released out onto our street without supervision, without adequate support.”
A CBS4 investigation found 4,000 people charged with felonies, many of them violent felonies, are being released from Denver County Court on a PR, $1 or $2 bond.

Happens time and time again. Recycled. Ask any cop. I’d make them walk across the US. Unused railroad tracks too far from civilization. Backpack, tent, sleeping bag and air horn to ward off the animals.
Next time shoot the SOB and save the public some money.
Release him in the judge’s home.
“Release him in the judge’s home.”
I don’t understand why that’s not already happening. Toss this mutt in the back of a squad car and haul him right to the Judge’s house and let him out. Make sure to tell him that there’s a free hot meal in it for him courtesy of this caring, progressive Judge.
L
They forgot, I guess, to mention he is an illegal?
(and saying things that didn’t make sense.)
Has he considered politics as a career? 🤔
Lots of open land on the plains around Denver, someone could disappear pretty easily.
Where do you see that? It’s not in the linked story.
Arrest the judge. Let him get the message. Every time you let him out we will arrest you.

That would be quite a long parade ... one way helicopter trip over a very deep body of water works better. A C-4 if there is a lot of business - climb to 20,000, open rear ramp, let fall.
***released him on a personal recognizance bond,***
If I remember, this nonsense got started back East in the late 1960s.
Suddenly the crime rate skyrocketed, and the local governments could not figure out why. The rest of the US knew it was because of releasing criminals back onto the street to commit more crimes.
Denver deserves what they are getting. More leftists, more criminals on the street. Makes sense to me.
Leftists. There is nothing they cannot ruin.
