   A man was arrested and released three times in one day due to the state’s   
   zero-dollar bail policy for smaller crimes, Glendora police announced Friday.   
      
   Monterey Park resident Dijon Landrum was arrested after stealing a vehicle   
   from East Los Angeles on Wednesday morning, police said in a news release,   
   adding he was also found with other stolen property and narcotics.   
      
   However, because of a policy from California’s Judicial Council that sets   
   bail at zero for most misdemeanors and minor felonies, Landrum was only cited   
   and released.   
      
   About an hour after he was released, police received a call about a man who   
   appeared to be stealing items from front yards in Glendora. Authorities said   
   they identified the man as Landrum, issuing him a citation and releasing him a   
   second time.   
      
   Friday night, police tracked a vehicle that had been reported stolen from the   
   parking lot of South Grand Avenue in Glendora, locating it on the I-10 Freeway   
   in La Puente. Glendora police pursued the vehicle alongside deputies from the   
   LA County Sheriff’   
   s Department and California Highway Patrol officers, with the chase ending in   
   Pasadena.   
      
   Landrum, whom police said had stolen the car, was arrested again, this time   
   with the added charge of evading officers. He was again released with his   
   third citation of the day.   
      
   "We want to thank all of the citizens that helped with this investigation,   
   particularly those that called when they noticed something suspicious,"   
   Glendora police said in the news release.   
      
   The zero-bail emergency policy, approved April 6, aims to help limit the flow   
   of inmates to prisons, where according to some officials COVID-19 has ample   
   opportunity to spread. Recent figures from the Bureau of Prisons showed that   
   out of the 2,700    
   coronavirus tests that had been given in federal prisons, nearly 2,000 – or   
   70% – had returned positive.   
      
   Los Angeles County set a similar policy the week before the state did.   
      
   Crimes not affected by the state zero-bail policy include serious felonies   
   such as murder, manslaughter and rape. Exceptions also include residential   
   burglary, DUI and domestic violence.   
      
   Other cities have also seen repeat offenders being released due to the   
   zero-bail policy. In Glendale, the same man was arrested and released twice   
   Friday due to the order.
