Chicago – After prosecutors had accused Jamond Thomas of the carjacking of a driver of food that was under the end of 2023, a Cook County judge ordered him as a risk of public safety. But another judge reversed that decision months later, so that Thomas, 21, could go home on a single monitor. He no longer wears the ankle monitor. He cut it off and has not been seen since, according to the office of the Sheriff of Cook County.
The delivery person told the police that he put an order in the 7200 block of South Albany when an armed man stepped out of a red car and took his SUV under 10:45 am on December 12, 2023.
Within 90 minutes, the Kaacking task force of the Chicago Police Department Task Force Thomas arrested in the 5500 block of South Elizabeth.
Two days later, Thomas was in the courtroom of Judge Barbara Dawkins on 26th and California. After hearing about the case, she agreed with public prosecutors: Thomas must be kept in prison while awaiting the trial. The case was then assigned to Judge Laura Ayala-Gonzalez, who decided to send Thomas home on a single monitor on 20 May, according to the court reports.
A month later Thomas made his next appearance via Zoom. And that was the last time that civil servants saw Jamond Thomas.
On Friday, the Sheriff’s Office of Cook Cooky Thomas’ business on his social media accounts emphasized and said he was fled out of his house and the subject is of “multiple” arrest trips. The researchers from the agency hope that someone will help them find Thomas by calling their tipline at 708-865-4700.
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has long complained that judges use his electronic monitoring program, designed for low -level cases such as drugs and shoplifting, for violent perpetrators such as people accused of murder and, in the case of Thomas, Carjacking.
The Sheriff monitoring program will end in the coming weeks. In the future, the office of the main judge Timothy Evans will be responsible for managing the District’s house arrest program.
Unlike Dart’s office, the courts are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act instructions of the State. The only details that the public will receive about the Evans program are those he decides to release.
