    AZ inmate arrested for refusing to leave lockup

    Associated Press – Wed, Jan 25, 2012

    FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Most people can't wait to leave jail, but one northern Arizona inmate has been charged with trespassing after refusing to leave the Coconino County lockup.

    Coconino County Sheriff's Office spokesman Gerry Blair says 44-year-old Martin Batieni Kombate was arrested in Flagstaff last week for trespassing and was scheduled for release Monday on his own recognizance on the charge.

    But when detention officers from the sheriff's office showed up to escort him out, Kombate allegedly said he wasn't leaving and was staying because he couldn't find his wallet.

    Blair tells The Associated Press that Kombate was disorderly in a jail cell, would not leave, so the police were called and Kombate was arrested.

    Blair says Kombate remains in jail.

      How dare this guy refuse to leave without getting his property back!! I think this might be a good example why we have more people incarcerated in this country then Russia and China combined..

      What the article is not telling you is that the county jail takes the wallet and any other items when they check you into the jail. They obviously lost his wallet, intentionally or otherwise, and he is simply demanding the wallet back from the detention folks before leaving.

      Well, maybe he just doesn't want to live among us good, outstanding, moral, law-abiding american citizens, and who can blame him, just look around your town, city or village, than look in your mirror, and ask yourselves: would I want to live around these people?
