Man arrested at least 557 times found dead
Lincoln Journal Star ^ | 12/26/03 | Unattributed

David Alan Cedillo, a well-known figure to local police and judges, was found dead this week in a south Lincoln garage.

The 42-year-old Cedillo's body was discovered at about 12:20 p.m., Tuesday inside the garage at 844 Peach St., authorities said. Police suspect he died between 3 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. An autopsy has been scheduled for Cedillo, a chronic alcoholic, but police do not suspect foul play.

Cedillo was no stranger to law enforcement. According to a 2002 Lincoln Journal Star article about chronic local offenders, Lincoln police arrested him 557 times since 1981.

Most of Cedillo's offenses were minor ones -- trespassing, for example -- but in 1998 he began serving a sentence of six to 10 years for first-degree assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony. Authorities suspected he stabbed a man whose car he was attempting to burglarize.

Cedillo was released from state custody on the convictions in March.

Criminal Lawyer says to the DA,
"We had a Nice Run with Cedillo,
a few more like him and we could retire"

Tyrants and their enablers are the only ones who try to paint our institutions of self-governance as hopelessly corrupt.
