Darlington County Trooper Duped

Remember the name, Michael Jerome Jones, DOB: 06/18/1960. This habitual and violent offender has been ticketed several counties for driving without a license.
Recently he was stopped in Darlington and Williamsburg Counties for driving without a license. Each time he was charged as a 1st time offender, even though he has a long and violent history and has served time three states.

Even though he has pending charges for possessing more than 20 weapons by a convicted felon, he was let go on bond and was stopped in Darlington County by a trooper, who arrested him on the DWL charge. Apparently the trooper didn't think to do a national check, so he was let go on bond again.

He was pulled over by another trooper on Dec. 5, while coming from a court appearance in Darlington on the DWL, and was allowed to go on his way.

Who is at fault here; the troopers or the prosecutors? Just look at his record, which does reflect the 14 trips to state prisons:

This is disgraceful police work. he should have been charged as a habitual traffic offender at the least. I'm wondering why he was not violated in Williamsburg, where he was out on bond on the DWL and gun possession charges, at the time of the Darlington arrest?

The guys in Darltington need refresher training.

The trooper may have dropped the ball, but remember its the prosecutor that decides on the final charges at the preliminary hearing. They should have known this guy had a pending DWL and weopans charges. Stop dumping on the troops!

Let me guess who it was?
