   HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman points to the   
   revolving door at the Harris County Criminal Courthouse for giving Ginger   
   Rene Williams one break after another.   
      
   Williams has quite a lengthy criminal history.   
      
   "25 years, quarter of a century, that's a pretty long time to be in and   
   out of the system," said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers.   
      
   Williams has four DWI convictions.   
      
   "This is not a joke," said Doug Griffith, President of the Houston Police   
   Officers Union. "You've got to understand these are the times she was   
   caught."   
      
   Williams actually went to prison after her third DWI conviction, but then   
   got probation for her fourth conviction.   
      
   "I don't understand the logic," Kahan said. "How do you get probation for   
   the same offense?"   
      
   Williams was charged with DWI number five last week.   
      
   Investigators say she was speeding, lost control, and struck four Precinct   
   4 patrol units parked at a substation.   
      
   "She first hit a brand new Ford Explorer that had less than 200 miles on   
   it," said Chief Toby Hecker with the Precinct 4 Constables Office. "We   
   just picked it up from the shop, got it all fitted, got all the stuff into   
   it."   
      
   All three patrol vehicles were totaled.   
      
   "If she would have gone a little further into the intersection, she could   
   have killed somebody," Hecker said.   
      
   When Williams appeared in probable cause court, the DA's office wanted   
   bond set at $100,000.   
      
   "Because she's a risk. Bond conditions are not a deterrent and her prior   
   criminal history," Kahan said.   
      
   Instead, the magistrate gave Williams a PR bond or get out of jail free   
   card.   
      
   "How could you not think that this person is a menace to society?" said   
   Kahan.   
      
   "There's no excuse for this magistrate giving a PR bond. Zero," Griffith   
   said.   
      
   "What kind of message does this send, having a felony like this cause this   
   much damage, and say OK, we'll see you tomorrow hopefully," Hecker said.   
      
   When Williams appeared before 488th Criminal District Court Judge Matthew   
   Peneguy, he revoked Williams PR bond, remanded her into custody, and set   
   her bond at $50,000.
