Man who committed crimes while out on bond remains free
YOUNGSTOWN — Prosecutors want Joseph Jackson taken off the streets and placed in jail, but he remains free after his most recent appearance in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
Jackson, 32, appeared before Judge Lou D’Apolito, Mahoning County Common Pleas Court, for a pretrial hearing today that ultimately turned into a hearing on a motion by prosecutors to revoke Jackson’s bond.
Jackson has been on parole since 2006 after serving five years in prison for aggravated robbery, but he was arrested and charged with illegally possessing a firearm and possession of cocaine in 2008. He posted a $35,000 bond and released pending trial.
Jackson was arrested twice more while on bond — once for possession of cocaine in April 2008 and also for possession of drugs in January of this year. He posted a $50,000 bond for the cocaine charges and was released on his own recognizance for the possession of drugs.
