Three arrests in one day, spread across seven hours and just two blocks!
Those are the dizzying numbers from just one suspect that has the troy police union calling for changes to bail reform laws.
That suspect is Scott Nolan.
The new laws are allowing suspects like Nolan to be released with an appearance ticket instead of being taken into custody.
The Troy Police Union believes this is putting an unnecessary burden on their officers by having to repeatedly catch this man. They also say the new laws diminish the power of arrest.
The states new bail laws tangled up Troy Police in a game loop of catch and release. They arrested Scott Nolan three times in seven hours yesterday.
Around 9am they arrested him and charged him for shoplifting. He was released with an appearance ticket.
Hours later, they say he assaulted a man just before 2:30pm. He was arrested and released again.
Then just before 4:30pm they say he hit another person with a brick. Police charged him with second degree attempted assault and third degree criminal possession of a weapon, which kept him in custody.
"They just basically become a reactive instead of a proactive police department," says Nicholas Laviano, the President of Troy's Police Union.
Laviano says the department knows Nolan well. This isn't his first déjà vu with the department.
Back in January police charged him with criminal mischief and released him. They say they caught him committing the same crime hours later.
Laviano says his criminal history is 50 pages long, and that has to be printed out every time he's arrested. He says that process uses uses up time and taxpayer money.

Bet he has a blog too.
Nor is this story unique. Some dude got arrested daily, and one woman was arrested several times in a row for anti-Jewish hate crimes.
Thank the progressive libtards and CoumoIdiot......gg.
‘If you can’t do the TIME, don’t do the CRIME’ no longer applies to the area criminals!
Comforting feeling, that. NOT!
LOL
Leftist policy, it sort of outs itself.
Well, he definitely gives it extra effort, it seems.
And they say criminals are lazy.

This is why we’ve got to get bricks off the street.
Only Bloomberg/Sanders 2020 can make America safe again.
Yeah...
Much safer place.
Go Pipsqueak!
I rib him for being short. He's not that short.
4' 20"
Excellent. Attract more criminals to replace the legitimate businesses moving out of NY.
Don’t forget plastic straws!
Oops...
My bad.
This is a habitual criminal. Although the individual acts may not be major felonies the impact on the area is serious. He should be put away.
I think he showed some bad manners . He didn’t thank the democrats like the guy in NYC did.
Find out where democrat legislators and other leftist activists live, leave them there.
“Laviano says his criminal history is 50 pages long, and that has to be printed out every time he’s arrested.”
Time to revise that procedure.
Meanwhile, the average citizen is not allowed to protect their property and lives. Bet you the demonrats who voted for this have gated communities or armed bodyguards.
