From Fox News: An Indiana man accused of stabbing a 69-year-old at a gas station has ignited outrage after records revealed a staggering criminal history – nearly 100 prior arrests – with little to show in the way of punishment.
Courtney Boose, 41, was arrested after the alleged gas-station stabbing, according to the Lawrence Police Department and Fox 59, which reported that Boose has been arrested 99 times over the years on charges ranging from theft and trespassing to battery.
Despite that record, court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital show he’s never served a day in state prison.
Boose’s long paper trail through Marion County courts paints a picture of a man repeatedly cycling through the system.
The report explains that Boose’s criminal record goes back more than 20 years. He’s been busted for mostly low-level felonies and misdemeanors such as theft, criminal trespass and panhandling, but has continually been freed back onto the streets.
Even in the cases where he was convicted, he was only sentenced to short stays in the county jail, or just sentenced to “time served.”
On one battery case that resulted in bodily injury in 2019 (which was later dismissed in a plea deal), Boose did have to spend two months in the local jail.
In the most recent case, where Boose stabbed the 69-year-old man at a gas station, that charge has reportedly already been downgraded from attempted murder to aggravated battery, a level three felony, which reduces potential prison time from up to 40 years to a maximum of 16.
He is currently being held at the Marion County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
Retired NYPD officer Paul Manicone voiced his outrage over the case, writing, “The POS on the left is Courtney Boose, from Lawerence Indiana. He’s been arrested 99 times but has never spent a day in jail. Today he stabbed a 69-year-old man in the chest. The POS on the right is the Democrat Mayor of Lawerence, Deborah Whitefield, who pushes the far-left policies that allow this insanity to continue.”
