In 2003, Radney was convicted of armed robbery. In that case, Radney\u00a0and an associate found themselves stranded roadside, without gas for their vehicle. The associate was armed with a small handgun. \u00a0When a Good Samaritan approached their vehicle to offer assistance, Radney and his associate robbed the man of $28. Radney\u00a0was placed on probation and served jail time for this offense. In 2005, he punched his girlfriend in the head, causing her to briefly lose consciousness in between kicks to her face, ribs, and arms. This conduct triggered his second felony conviction. In 2012, Radney was found loitering in front of a motel mid-day. Deputies found a loaded handgun in his\u00a0left pocket, as well as 14 individually packaged baggies of methamphetamine in his waistband. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacda.org\/index.php\/download_file\/view\/1691\/533\/\">District Attorney\u2019s Letter Opposing Early Release<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2465\" src=\"http:\/\/www.klaaskids.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Jerry-Rasmussen-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Jerry Rasmussen\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Rasmussen, Jerry<\/strong>:\u00a0In 1993, Rasmussen was stopped by CHP for driving recklessly and ultimately found to be in possession of several loaded (and unloaded) firearms as well as knives secured to his body with rubber bands.\u00a0 In September 1994, Rasmussen hog-tied and tortured two men he found on his property.\u00a0 He covered their heads, kicked them repeatedly, poured cold water on them and threatened to kill them with his gun. This went on for over 3 hours until a neighbor saw what was happening and called police. Just 10 days after this incident, Rasmussen came upon another man on his property and held him at gun point threatening to kill him. Yet another victim of Rasmussen was attempting to negotiate a U-turn in Rasmussen\u2019s driveway when he was met by a screaming Rasmussen wielding a shovel\u2014a shovel he then used to smash the victim\u2019s car windshield and threaten to kill him with. In 2012, Rasmussen came home to find that his front door had been kicked in and his home burglarized. Instead of calling the police (because he didn\u2019t believe that anything would be done), Rasmussen, armed himself with a .22 caliber pistol and laid down on the couch, in the dark, to wait for the burglars to return\u2014which they did.\u00a0 Upon their return, Rasmussen, without saying a word, got up from the couch and shot one man in the face then turned and shot the second man dead where he stood.\u00a0 Rasmussen took the gun to a neighbor\u2019s house and gave it to her hold\u2014telling her only that his house was burglarized, but not that he had left a dead man inside of it.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacda.org\/index.php\/download_file\/view\/1595\/533\/\">District Attorney\u2019s Letter Opposing Early Release<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2466\" src=\"http:\/\/www.klaaskids.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/John-Thomas-Roberts-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"John Thomas Roberts\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Roberts, John Thomas<\/strong>:\u00a0Roberts committed his strike offense of residential burglary in 2011.

He was convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence and ordered to undergo a batterer&#8217;s treatment program which he never did. In early 2014 he was charged with stealing a vehicle and allowed to proceed as a violation of probation on his strike offense for additional county jail time. \u00a0Four months after his release from jail, he was arrested for his current vehicle theft offense for which he received a 32 month prison sentence.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacda.org\/index.php\/download_file\/view\/1699\/533\/\">District Attorney\u2019s Letter Opposing Early Release<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2468\" src=\"http:\/\/www.klaaskids.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Kevin-Robinson-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin Robinson\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Robinson, Kevin<\/strong>:\u00a0Robinson got an early start at living the life of a criminal, picking up two strike convictions by the time he was 21.

Officers located a digital scale, narcotic packaging, and 80.00 grams of marijuana, 2.63 grams of cocaine, 9 MDMA pills and $2,000.00 in cash. Rodriguez also had a firearm in his vehicle.
