I Think They Forgot Several Zeros: This Kidnapper Released On $2 Bail Then Commits Same Crime AGAIN

Aubrey Taylor was taken into custody for choking and kidnapping a former girlfriend of his.

Taylor is said to have held his former girlfriend and choked her before he was arrested. The Harris County, Texas, the court gave him a $2 bond to escape jail. But his freedom was short-lived as he was arrested a few days later for skipping his court date and continuing to threaten his former girlfriend.

The Daily Caller reported Governor Greg Abbott stated, “Repeat offender accused of beating woman gets $1 bond. Horrific. Texans must feel safe in their communities. This session, we will eliminate the easy bail policies that allow dangerous criminals back onto our streets.”

Abbott was less than thrilled to hear of the ridiculous bail assigned to Taylor. That kind of bail will only empower other criminals to commit crimes because they know they will get out of jail with a slap on the wrist.

The Daily Caller also reported, “After Taylor was rearrested, his bond was set at $45,000 for the kidnapping and $15,000 for the assault charge, KHOU 11 reported. This is not the first time Taylor has been charged with a violent crime; prior to his current charges, Taylor had eight prior felony convictions, according to Yahoo News.”

The state legislature passed a bill prohibiting violent criminals from being released. Judge Josh Hill has been accused of using the case to protest the law by setting the bail at $2. But the judge has denied that allegation.

The truth behind the low bail may never be found. But one thing is sure: the victim in the case had to relive a terrifying moment because a judge could not set the bail high enough to keep the repeat offender behind bars.
