AWR Hawkins
Las Vegas Metro Sheriff Kevin McMahill is defying a Justice Court judge’s order to release Joshua Sanchez-Lopez, a repeat offender who has been arrested 35 times.News3LV reported that Sanchez-Lopez is currently “accused of grand larceny of a car.” Judge Eric Goodman ordered his release but Sheriff McMahill and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) “filed an emergency motion to stay the order.”
Attorneys for the LVMPD have now filed with the Nevada Supreme Court asking them to intervene to prevent Sanchez-Lopez’s release.

The Daily Mail noted that Sanchez-Lopez’s criminal history includes “prison time for drug and involuntary manslaughter charges.”

Good to see Chief LEOs backing the law and trying to protect the citizenry, as opposed to simply rubber stamping a judge’s summary order to release a career criminal.
I’ve harped on the [in]justice system plenty of times, and frankly, I don’t have relevant first-hand experience with it nowadays. Let’s see, I obey the law and avoid confrontations with cops, so it’s pretty simple. Still, though it’s been nearly 30 years, my one stint in jail taught me how biased and unfair the system is. As a fresh-faced 18-year-old, I was convicted of having a concealed weapon based on the guns classification as an “assault weapon” under the 1994 ban. No belligerence on my part, or even intent to conceal the shotgun, but I still got some jail time and a hefty fine after appealing the initial conviction. Yet, a lot of people (including some I have the misfortune of knowing) can commit malicious property crimes or crimes against other people, skip court, and still get released on recognizence or a low bail time and again, with most of the charges tossed when they finally do go to court.
Thirty-five times!?
“Ok, judge, I’ll let this one go on your order. BUT!! Hold out your hand (CLICK) now you and he are handcuffed together. You, judge, are responsible for his good behavior. If he commits any additional crimes, I’m throwing you both in jail.”
A guy can dream, can’t he?
