The Root of the Orlando Crime Problem May Start With the Letter "J"

Police Shut Down Streets In Standoff With Home Invasion Suspect

quote:
The incident started around 9:30am with officers and Orange County deputies arrived at an apartment at Columbia Street and Ola Drive to serve a warrant on 30 year old Delvin Pryor, suspected in an armed home invasion that took place on January 2nd…

…Pryor has a long criminal history, including 51 past felony charges.


And it gets even better:

Police said between felonies and misdemeanors, Pryor has more than 80 charges against him.

Another news source stated that he is wanted for dozens of crimes.

Ok, let’s do the math on this shall we? The accused is 30 years old, so if he started his career at age 10 (highly unlikely) then that would mean in the span of twenty years, he had fifty one felony convictions and twenty nine misdemeanors. Anyone want to do the percentages? I can’t even begin to guess how much his behavior has cost the law abiding, hard working tax paying citizens of Florida in law enforcement investigations, court costs, incarceration fees, court appointed lawyers, and even more troubling, how much it cost his innocent victims. It looks like he has graduated to home invasion now, and I wonder if the judges who have released this repeat offender time and time again even have a conscience. It appears that the local judicial system needs the royal flush.

It should be noted that this is the second call out this week for our highly trained SWAT Operators.
