Halfway House Fugitive- Alexa Almaguer 4th Period

Summary:
Eric Eugene Hartwell, a convicted child rapist, cut off his ankle monitor at a Colorado halfway house where he was on parole. In 1991, Hartwell was convicted of child rape and was sentenced to five years in prison. After found guilty of failing to register as a sex offender, Hartwell was ordered to serve a lifetime of supervised parole in March 2010. This is not the first time that he has fled a halfway home, in March 2009 Hartwell cut off his leg monitor and fled after just a week in the house. The fugitive apprehension unit is currently working to find the fugitive as quickly as possible along with several other law enforcement agencies.

Analysis:
In my opinion if Eric Hartwell is found, which hopefully will be soon, he should be put in jail if this the second time he has cut off a leg monitor and escaped a halfway house. Hopefully the department will find Hartwell in the near future and establish a more suitable penalty.
