    • He wasn’t charged for having a knife. He was charged for his felony probation violation, and then Resisting arrest. It’s just odd behavior and makes for a good story to mention that he has seven knives concealed on this person….

    • Depends on the size; and if officers ask if you have weapons and you say no, but are found with 7. We don’t have all the pertinent info.. but a blade over 4 inches ( I think ) is considered illegal.

    • She’s also a Caucasian woman! An African American woman would have received the same bond or higher than the 56 yr.old!

  1. Who needs seven knives ? Maybe he was going to a cookout and needed it for steaks .. ?? Meth and steaks .. the evening got ruined ! Da*n it

  2. I don’t understand how the driver gets a 100,000 bond and the girl gets a 2,500 bond when they both got charged for the same thing? That’s discrimination

  3. All drivers are responsble for every passenger in their vehicle, could be why the driver was fined more than the female. Or maybe the the driver has had past charges on file. Be careful who let in your car?

  4. Y’all sound so ridiculous with these accusations of discrimination from the department, while most likely sitting at home living on government assistance, or out on the streets contributing to the crimes committed daily. Do better. Stop complaining and misplacing blame, start making a difference.
