CLOVIS, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) A Fresno man has been arrested for the tenth time in a single month, according to the Clovis Police Department.
38-year-old Keith Chastain was booked into the Fresno County Jail for the tenth time since Feb. 19, 2023, officials say.
The most recent arrest took place Tuesday evening when Clovis Police say they received a call about a stolen truck that Chastain was suspected of driving.
An officer located the stolen truck driving in Old Town Clovis and followed it until additional officers were in the area, according to authorities. Officers initiated a high-risk traffic stop in front of the Clovis Police Department and arrested Chastain without incident.
During these 10 arrests in 31 days, Chastain was arrested by Clovis Police six times and other agencies four times.
Chastain is facing 18 felonies and 15 misdemeanors with charges including stealing six vehicles, DUI, vandalism, fraud, possession of a controlled substance, and more, according to officials.

Non violent crimes that don't require cash bail. Sometimes a good idea can be too good

Not that this guy might not be facing some serious time eventually, but I'd think by now he'd be held for trial without possibility of bail.

Yet this guy isn't even in jail! WTF!

So maybe he could make bail on the first few incidents, but they still continued to let him out after a day or two?
Got to be connections.

How many black violators would be let out to keep committing crimes?
It doesn't say that they're keeping him this time.

They are not being let out because the DA is a MAGA, quite the opposite.
