LOW-RISK, NON-VIOLENT, NON-REVOKABLE PAROLEE

It’s not the parolee’s fault. The alcohol made him do it. And I’ll bet the pre-release computer analysis showed him to be a Boy Scout.

DRUNKEN PAROLEE STEALS, GROUNDS BOAT

A drunken parolee stole a nice 32-foot boat and ran it up onto the beach last night at Seal Beach.

John Maxedone, 51, who was on parole for vehicle theft, was arrested shortly after the incident. Maxedone is currently a guest at the Orange County Hospitality Center in lieu of $50,000 bail. I noticed the Orange County Register story does not mention a parole hold, so I guess that stealing and damaging a boat while drunk is a non-serious non-violent technical offense and no big deal. I wonder if the boat owner’s insurance carrier will agree?
