Serial Burglary Suspect Free Without Bail Despite Alleged Crime Sprees

A serial burglary suspect with a long criminal history is free without bail despite allegedly being involved in a recent string of burglaries in Fremont, Milpitas, San Jose, Santa Clara and Palo Alto, Fremont police said. Kristopher Sylvester, 34, of Fremont, was arrested by Fremont detectives on April 2 for allegedly committing multiple commercial burglaries, possessing a loaded firearm, evading police and violating his probation, according to police.

Sylvester was booked into Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, but an Alameda County Superior Court judge released him without bail on April 7 after he was arraigned. The judge set a court date for Sylvester in June.

The judge's action stems from a new California Judicial Council policy of releasing without bail suspects who are arrested for misdemeanors and low-level felonies in an effort to reduce overcrowding at jails in the wake of the new coronavirus pandemic. Sylvester was arrested again by Santa Clara police last Thursday for allegedly engaging in a crime spree in Santa Clara County, according to Fremont police. But when Sylvester was arraigned on Monday, a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge freed him without bail again and set a court date for June, Fremont police said.

Serial burglars often progress to become serial rapists and then serial killers...

Sometimes, burglars “progress” to worse crimes, like rape.

With a little bit of luck, there’ll eventually be an armed homeowner at home for one of his break-ins.

My thoughts exactly.

That’s the ONLY thing that’s going to stop him.
