According to experts, the January arrest was just one of the opportunities Brown missed in his criminal history. He has been riding his bike through the criminal justice system for more than a decade, according to court records.

“The federal charges can be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. We are not going to use it for people who have been 30 or 40 years since their last arrest. We are talking about it for people who have been involved in violent crimes repeatedly.”
“They prosecuted some of these cases, but that’s a ridiculous proportion. They ended up occupying only the worst because they didn’t have the resources. And, it’s clear that despite the multiple arrests, I’m not sure where this person’s case has risen to that threshold.”
