Hey, it could happen to anyone
Just a little computer glitch. Not to worry:
The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Crime Stoppers reportedly are offering cash rewards for any information that helps capture a convicted killer who was accidentally released from prison last week.
Benjueil Johnson, 32, was serving a 40-year sentence at the Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson, La., after pleading guilty to manslaughter and illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon…
…Johnson was released on good behavior from Dixon for prior charges September 23. He was then transferred to East Feliciana Parish jail to be booked on a misdemeanor count of battery of a correctional officer. After he was processed, Johnson posted a $10,000 bond and was free to go because the manslaughter conviction didn’t appear in his state Department of Correction file.
An interesting tidbit connected with the story: Johnson has a tattoo on his left arm that says “Timed Up.”
Nebraska released all sorts of inmates due to some stupidity. Had to go bring them back.
