Yasin Calloway and Jamal Johnson, both 36-year-old Newark residents, were each charged with weapons offenses after police received a tip that a gun was seen inside a van.
Officers responded to the tip and pulled over a van matching the description. Inside the van, officers saw a loaded .40 caliber handgun. Both Calloway and Johnson were arrested. Calloway was also charged with pointing a gun at a woman earlier in the day during an argument.
Calloway and Johnson were release and FREE TO GO after the “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that they were 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.
Another “validated pretrial risk assessment” Failure.
