- 0:19Speaker 1: felonies stemming from three Marseille cocaine deals and then ground
- 0:23Speaker 1: their teeth. After Caitlin Panis's ankle bracelet was found cut
- 0:26Speaker 1: off and with no sign of her, Panis was picked
- 0:29Speaker 1: up recently in Chicago and then remanded to LaSalle County jail.
- 0:34Speaker 1: A judge decided Monday that Panis will stay in jail
- 0:36Speaker 1: until her trial for drugs and for escape. Panas, thirty six, homeless,
- 0:41Speaker 1: appeared Monday in LaSalle County Circuit Court and promptly lost
- 0:45Speaker 1: her newest bid for pre trial release. Prosecutors alleged she
- 0:49Speaker 1: was involved in three Marseille drug deals. In spring twenty
- 0:52Speaker 1: twenty four. Despite facing up to thirty years in prison,
- 0:56Speaker 1: Panis was granted pre trial release last year. In open
- 1:00Speaker 1: court Monday, prosecutor Ryan Cantlon said Panis subsequently missed court dates,
- 1:04Speaker 1: set off the GPS alarm nearly two dozen times for
- 1:07Speaker 1: assorted violations, and finally cut off the bracelet nine months ago.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Assistant Public Defender Brad Poperella said in open court that
- 1:16Speaker 1: Panis isn't the most promising candidate for another crack at
- 1:19Speaker 1: pre trial release. But Panis has a drug problem, he argued,
- 1:23Speaker 1: and needs treatment before incarceration. Chief Judge H. Chris Ryan
- 1:27Speaker 1: Junior didn't have to think long before answering a question,
- 1:30Speaker 1: is Panis likely to comply with future conditions of pre
- 1:33Speaker 1: trial release? She isn't, Ryan answered rhetorically. Panis will next
- 1:38Speaker 1: appear October eighth for emotions hearing. The Lasal County States
- 1:43Speaker 1: Attorney's Office has said previously that nearly one in five
- 1:46Speaker 1: felony suspects granted pre trial release with GPS monitoring have cut, damaged,
- 1:51Speaker 1: or disabled their ankle bracelets and absconded. Replacing the damaged
- 1:55Speaker 1: devices costs LaSalle County taxpayers nearly one thousand dollars per
- 1:59Speaker 1: unit
