An Oregon man could very well have set a record for the shortest stretch of time between lockups, requiring a mere 55 minutes to land himselfback in jail after being released.
Christopher Franklin Weaver, 33, walked out of Lane County Jail as one of 32 recently released inmates, walked about a mileor so and allegedly promptly robbed a bank, police in Eugene, Ore., said.
He was caught by authorities at the Pacific Continental Bank and returned to Lane County Jail. Nobody was injured during the alleged robbery.
“This is pretty fast, someone getting released at 11:00 and then they arrive back 55 minutes later,” Sgt. Carrie Carverof the Lane County Sheriff’s Office told ABC News. ”I can’t say it’s the shortest time, but it’scertainly themost notable because of the nature of the crime.”
Law enforcement in Lane County was forced to release 32 inmates, including Weaver, in order to balance the budget for the year, Carver said.
The releasedinmates were imprisoned on charges ranging from assaultand sex abuse to drug possession and drunk driving. Weaver was incarceratedfor parole violations for sex abuse and for unlawfuluse of a vehicle.
Officials at the Lane County Sheriff’s Office could not confirm whether or not Weaver, who now faces federalbank robbery charges, hasbeen assigned an attorney.
Magistrate Judge Tom Coffin ruled Weaver a flight risk at his initial hearing in US District Court and hewill be locked up for “as long as the feds pay for that bed,” Carver said.
New world record !

The looney left want's all these poor misunderstood bad people to have second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. etc. chances. These people don't change! He was in on major charges! If you have to do what Sheriff's Joe did! He has NEVER released an inmate because of over crowding!
