JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- A Palatka man has earned a dubious distinction: Alger Scott has been arrested 101 times.
The most recent time came Wednesday when the 54-year-old was charged with selling drugs within 1,000 feet of a school.
His rap sheet includes charges of petty theft, drug possession, trespassing, aggravated assault, and armed robbery. Most were misdemeanors.
State prison records show he has served stints at local jails and about three years in prison since the late 1990s.
Putnam County Circuit Court Judge Art Nichols says communities everywhere deal with habitual offenders like Scott, whom he says take up time and jail space.

Art Nichols says communities everywhere deal with habitual offenders like Scott, whom he says take up time and jail space... That's the quote of the day.

Just as long as you stay away from the judge’s gated community, we’ll let you go, pal!

I think Singapore has a very good way of dealing with this kind of petty crook. Public caning.

Being from FL, my favorite Palatka quote, which I heard first hand:
"Palatka?! Isn't that what you brush off your teeth?!

Good bass and striped bass hybrid fishing in Platka. Seemed like a nice town.

I want a REAL three-strikes-and out law. Three-time felons should all be executed.

Three-time felons should all be doing the laundry of the senior care centers.

Ah, Palatka! A tiny town with one of the highest crime rates in Florida.
I think Jacksonville exported some of its welfare recipients to Palatka some years ago; and then, of course, there are the winos and druggies picked up on the streets and brought to Palatka by the labor contractors to pick the local cabbages and potatoes.
