Atlanta. Illegal gets piddly $30,000 bond for kidnapping
Totally ridiculous. The saving grace was ICE putting a hold on the accused slime muffin so, no matter what, he won't be released without going thru them, first.
A Gwinnett magistrate judge granted a $30,000 bond Wednesday for a man accused of false imprisonment in a drug-related kidnapping that went awry.
But the legal problems for 24-year-old Jose Ramirez-Perez, who has been in jail in Gwinnett, don't stop at Gwinnett's border. Sandy Springs police have filed kidnapping charges against him in Fulton County. That's where the strange saga began when six men abducted a suspected drug dealer from his apartment on July 1.
Federal immigration officials also have placed a hold on Ramirez-Perez, who is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, pending possible deportation, authorities said.
Ramirez-Perez told police he had nothing to do with the kidnapping. He said he was hired to pick up the [ransom] money, Detective J. Richter of the Gwinnett County Police Department testified Wednesday in a Magistrate Court hearing.
