Navigation AG asks state attorneys to take a hard line toward those who take advantage of Ian victims
Attorney General Ashley Moody
Attorney General Ashley Moody sent a memo September 30 to state attorneys in all 20 circuits outlining state law requiring that no defendant charged with a theft crime committed in an area under a declared state of emergency may be released prior to a first appearance hearing.
Moody also requested that state attorneys seek pretrial detention “to the fullest extent possible” for defendants who commit crimes during the current state of emergency.
