A convicted criminal whose prison sentence was commuted by former President Joe Biden is back behind bars.

Willie Frank Peterson, 52, was convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine in 2023, and was sentenced to six years and three months in jail.

His sentence began on Sept. 13, 2023, according to court records obtained by Fox News Digital.

Per a Jan. 17 executive grant of clemency, Biden commuted Peterson’s sentence to 20 months, allowing him to leave custody shortly after.

But on Monday, Peterson was booked for multiple drug-related offensives in Dothan, Alabama.

The Dothan Police Department charged Peterson with two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of marijuana.

‘Progressives’ are willfully ignorant of so much. Here, for example, the fact that criminality runs deep in a man’s character. It’s a way of looking at the world; a lifestyle, if you will. These days, one has to try to get arrested. If one is arrested, then actually charged, then actually convicted, then actually sentenced to prison, they’re way, way guilty, and there’s a raft of other charges that were prosecuted or didn’t stick. The idea that someone goes to prison for having a marijuana seed in their car’s ashtray is total fiction.

Very true.

But this guy who was pardoned by that same Biden family crime family is not as bad as they are.

I just watched a Johnny Carson clip this week of a 93 year old woman from Dothan, AL. I hope and pray President Trump’s successes continue and people appreciate what is being done to better the country.

Didn’t Biden’s autopen give him a pardon for life?

Maybe he should replace the crazyman at the South Pole? (The research team that has a madman amongst them are from South Africa. That would be a great place for Hunter to hunker down).

We really should pass a law preventing violent felons from owning firearms.

This isn’t surprising, at all. Far more pertinent is the question of how this guy (and the others granted clemency) came to the attention of the POTUS.

Indeed, anyone that is in “the straight world” is a “sucker”.
