CRIME, CRIMINALS, AND COVID-19 - Salinas Police Department officials said ten minutes after an inmate was released on zero-bail because of COVID 19, he allegedly forced a female driver out of her car in a parking lot. He demanded her keys, and she wouldn’t give them, so he began choking the woman’s 11-year-old son. Eventually, the woman gave her keys, and she pulled her son out of the car, and the newly released criminal fled the scene.
