Andrew Arterburn, the owner of One Stop Express in trendy Uptown, Dallas isn’t too happy that the shoplifter who stole $120 worth of laundry detergent on Thursday from his store will have charges dismissed.
“It’s a slap on the wrist. They go to jail, get a meal, get let go. And they’re not going to be prosecuted at all for it,” said Arterburn.
Stores owners across Dallas, Texas probably feel like it’s open season on their stores after new Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot declared that there will be no prosecution for those who steal less than $750 worth of what are deemed ‘personal items’ from stores. As long as someone doesn’t steal for financial gain and as long as it is below the $750 threshold any anyone can steal with fear of prosecution.
This is part of Cruezot’s criminal justice reforms that he campaigned on.
“When I ran to become your District Attorney, I promised you that I would bring changes to our criminal justice system,” Cruezot said.
“The changes that I promised will be a step forward in ending mass incarceration in Dallas County, and will make our community safer by ensuring that our limited resources are spent where they can do the most good,” Cruezot explained.

it’s time to recall the bastard
Just what’s needed in Dallas. More crime, no time.
”The changes that I promised will be a step forward in ending mass incarceration in Dallas County, and will make our community safer by ensuring that our limited resources are spent where they can do the most good,” Cruezot explained.“
Can someone explain the logic behind that?
Too many dumb people voting democrat!
Good. I commin’ to his house to get Free Stuff!
This is insane. Look at what Leftist morons like this Cruezot are doing to us all!
Who was STUPID enough to vote for this idiot???
Yeah…we know who………
So stealing below $ 750.00 is not a crime or a sin. Wow
Well then i guess when they get shot for stealing it wont be prosicuted for less then 750.00. This is the dumbest and most dangerious s**t on planet earth. He is violating his oath of office. He needs to be removed ASAP!
Well, it’s time for store owners and employees to carry guns. Since the D.A. won’t do anything about stealing, I guess it’s time for owners and employees to do justice. A bunch of people need to go to the D.A.’s home, and one at time go into his home and steal $700 worth of stuff and show him what it’s all about.
I have a hard time accepting that this happened in Texas. What next a week at a summer camp for murder?
