Is this guy maybe Casey Jones' son? Casey was Roger Awsumb.

Exactly. Why bother to show up for your trial? There's very little downside.

Why was he let go before the court date? Isn't 25,000 a felony? Of course it is..

dang it, I was so happy someone finally got caught. They need to catch them all, especially the ones destroying historic houses/buildings by ripping out the copper through the walls.

He will get caught eventually - criminals are not the brightest bulbs on the tree, sharpest knife in the drawer, few cards short of a deck, elevator doesn't go to the top floor, and so on and so on..can anyone add any new ones?

Please take your time and read the story. Then take your time to read the US and Minnesota Constitutions.

He was not convicted just charged. In the USA and Minnesota, you are presumed innocent. Everyone with a felony on down gets some form of bail.

OJ, Scooter Libby, and Anthony Klaseus who killed his son all got bail.

This dude forfeited has now forfeited his bail and can now be picked up and held without bail.

Judges do not always grant bail. They can order a person to be held to stand trial. That just doesn't happen in every case.

I grew up near the Shetkas. Dan has a criminal felony record going back thirty years. I'm sure Marks record is near as bad.

I guess the judge did not feel they were worth hanging on too!

Dan Shetka was just caught again 09/01 felony auto theft, possesion of burglary tools. What do you want to bet he's out right now?
