10 armed robberies in 10 days by an 8X felon. In Austin, that's just evidence of a good boy driven bad by racism and mean cops

 Our hero David Olmay circa 2016. arrested for a DWI, evading arrest, and a parole violation warrant. (after leading police in a 25-minute chase, with a 2-year-old child in the car).

He might go to jail, at least for a day or two, but it’s more likely the DA will prosecute the cops for chasing the son of a bitch across the state and needlessly scaring him

Prior to this, Olmos has been convicted of eight felonies. Olmos’ most recent conviction came on February 11, 2019, in Travis County for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. That got him five years. He didn’t serve that time. 

Olmos was released on November 2, 2020, and was set to remain on parole until October of 2023.

But on April 2, 2021, while on parole, Olmos allegedly evaded arrest in a vehicle from the Sealy Police Department, in southeast Texas near Houston. Sealy police pursued him from that area until the Texas Department of Public Safety took over the chase as he moved west. Troopers pursued him into Travis County where he was apprehended. A source says Mr. Olmos was found in possession of a handgun and methamphetamine. He was arrested once again for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, evading arrest, and possession of a controlled substance.

Just four days later — on April 6, 2021 — Olmos was released from jail on a personal bond despite the fact he was a flight risk (he had just led police on a chase across Texas). The conditions of the personal bond included a GPS ankle monitor he was required to wear. Olmos allegedly removed that ankle monitor, and his personal bond was revoked on May 19, 2021. By then, he was already allegedly engaged in a crime spree.

Olmos would allegedly go on to commit ten robberies in 10 days across greater Austin.

The question residents of Travis County and Austin should be asking is a simple one: With eight prior felony convictions on his record, and a chase just four days before his release on April 6, why was David Olmos free?

That’s a question for Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza. Garza has prioritized prosecuting police officers. He ran on that platform and won his election in 2020. His office put Olmos back on the streets four days after the chase.

Meanwhile, Garza’s hand-picked #2 stands behind this message she sent out to her activist lawyer friends.
