Court watchers say they are angry tonight, they have been trying to monitor harris since early february when charlottemecklenburg Police Arrested the 20yearold on gun charges. Harris was being held on 40,000 bond. Despite his previous arrest record, and multiple charges including interfering with electronic monitor, a judge let harris out of jail with no bond. And referred him to the county program pretrial services. Harris had to make weekly phone calls to his case manager and show up for his court appearances. Mr. Harris did not show up to court on his february 23rd court day. Tonight, hes on the run. Pretrial Services Says they and danger to community. They say they thought supervision would be enough to keep him in line. Mr. Harris didnt do, didnt hold up his end of the bargain and the process worked, a warrant has been issued, he has been revoked from the program.
