Today's Terrible Judge: Ankur Srivastava

#CookCounty Circuit Court Judge #Ankur #Srivastava issued a ruling allowing Viloria’s release under electronic monitoring. #CarlosMavarezViloria, a resident of the #StandardClub migrant shelter in downtown #Chicago, has been arrested ten times since arriving in the fair city last summer, according to police and court records.

Viloria was consistently released from custody after each arrest, but that ended with the tenth case, his first felony, and he is currently living in the Cook County jail. His first arrest came on July 12 2023, when he was accused of stealing 10 Major League Baseball hats, watches, a backpack, and food, worth a total of $193, from #Walmart in #Evergreen Park.

A judge issued a warrant for his arrest when he failed to appear in court the next month. But he wasn’t on the lam for long. The following day, #ChicagoIL police arrested him after security at Macy’s, 111 South State, claimed he attempted to shoplift $158 worth of t-shirts.

The following month, he was detained for allegedly possessing a crack pipe in the Loop. Prosecutors dropped the charge, but a judge ordered officials to destroy the crack pipe, records show.

He received seven days for the Walmart case, but prosecutors dropped the other two matters.
