He was actually stopped for Jaywalking, but was arrested for drug charges, in addition to others.

You should see the comments about how this sentence was “racist”. But this dude has a LONG rap sheet. Apparently he enjoys jail, and seems to have learned nothing from the previous experiences on the inside. “Smart” thieves get busted once. “Stupid” thieves get out of jail and go right back to stealing again. And they can’t do basic math that says the second time you’re caught, the sentence is longer, and the third time is even longer. Repeat until it gets into their thick skulls.
