Robert Lozano, 31, was arrested on a felony drug possession charge on Aug 28 2017. During his arrest, it was discovered that Lozano had four other warrants for failing to appear before court.
Despite the warrants and new charge, Lozano was released and FREE TO GO under under NM Bail Reform after the Arnold Foundation’s “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that he was not a danger to the community or a flight risk and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.
The release is the result of newly enacted Supreme Court guidelines orchestrated by Chief Justice Daniels that virtually eliminates accountable pretrial release and bail.
