Albuquerque, NM – Man charged in armed robbery, aggravated assault, FREE TO GO under NM Bail Reform

Ferron Mendez, 23, was arrested on Sep 26 for armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, assault with intent to commit a violent felony, aggravated assault, and tampering with evidence.

Mendez made his first appearance the next day and despite the prosecutors filing for preventative detention, Mendez was released and FREE TO GO under NM Bail Reform after the Arnold Foundation’s “Pretrial Risk Assessment” tool determined that he was not a danger to the community or a flight risk and therefore should not be subject to any accountable release – just a “promise” to appear.

The release is the result of the newly enacted Supreme Court guidelines issued by Chief Justice Daniels that virtually eliminates accountable pretrial release and bail.
