Letter: Search ends for attempted home invader

Comments re: ACSO: Arrest brings multiple investigations to close

By Victoria Pike

I was in shock to find out this man is free on bond the morning after scaring our community and our school kids. From what I've learned it started only a couple houses away. Our officers worked so professionally to bring this situation to a quick end. Thanks to them for all they do.

However, to wake up the next morning and find out he's been released and promises to come back to court is just terrible. How this happened legally I haven't a clue. I hope more details will be released to the public on how this happened.
