About a dozen investigators are responsible for looking for more than 25,000 people wanted for felonies.
Because that takes a priority, it means those wanted for other crimes, like in Humphrey's case, a convicted felon, wanted for assaulting and breaking into his girlfriend's apartment, are put on the back burner.
Haberland said the spike in crime, not enough officers running warrants, and outside factors like the court backlog, are the reasons they can't keep up, and in turn, there are victims like Robin Baucom, whose lives are lost to senseless violence."Until something is done to get a handle on the crime out there and give the police what they need - the backing, the money, to get more effort into getting people off the streets, it's going to get worse," Gail said.
