Bail Laws Amount to Another Bailing
07/12/2023
Finally, someone is actually sitting in jail for stealing a KIA.
A one Jashawn Fields is currently listed as being in jail since July 10 after Buffalo Police borrowed the Erie County Sheriff helicopter and decided to chase down some "KIA Boyz" from the air.
Fields was apprehended last Sunday when the chopper followed a stolen vehicle, a vehicle which contained him and at least one if not several others, to Esser Avenue in Buffalo.
I am assuming Fields knew he was being followed from the air and in his pip-squeak little brain, thought he could outrun helicopters. But if not I'd be curious how he mentally processed it all when they slapped the cuffs on him - he must have been bewildered and blamed "magic" or something.
I know personally from listening to the scanner at the time that he and his cohorts bailed and at least one of them entered a neighborhood house (two actually). Despite social media remarks I've encountered suggesting otherwise, he does not appear to be being charged for that entry, insofar as I can tell by online court records.
Incredibly, Fields appears to be the same person allegedly involved in a similar theft in the Town of Tonawanda a few weeks earlier which involved the stolen car he was allegedly driving crashing into a tree. As per New York's current bail laws, he was let go with a promise to report back to court on July 17.
So, let that sink in.
Curious justice-seekers can follow these cases as CR-04194-23 and CR-03732-23 via the New York Unified State Unified Court System Webcriminal portal.
