Khalil Pollard, 27, is FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform guidelines despite pulling a gun on a store clerk who confronted him about items Pollard had picked up and not payed for.
Supermarket scuffle ends with man pulling gun on clerk, cops say
(NJ.com reported on the incident Mar 7, 2017 – story in link)
Newark police allege 27-year-old Khalil Pollard, of Newark, was shopping at the 24 Supermarket on Central Avenue at about 10 p.m. on Feb. 23 when a supermarket employee confronted him about not paying for the items he had picked up.
Their back-and-forth allegedly ended with Pollard pulling a gun on the clerk, then running from the store, police said.
After identifying Pollard as a suspect in the incident, police say they arrested him Tuesday on aggravated assault and weapons charges. Though police have not yet commented specifically about how the storm impacted the arrest, they did say Pollard was taken into custody without incident.
Pollard was released on his own recognizance Mar 17, 2017…FREE TO GO with a bus pass on a “pinky promise” to return to court. I wonder how the store clerk feels about Pollards unaccountable release? I wonder if the store clerk knows that his tax dollars help pay for it too?

- ZERO Supervision
- ZERO Bail…just a “pinky promise” to return

If this guy walks, then my question is who the hell are they keeping?
