NM judge decides to hold trouble-making teen behind bars until trial
An Albuquerque teen who can’t stay out of trouble will stay behind bars until trial. Police say 18-year-old Mylin Bill shot at a pregnant woman earlier this month, and then a day later was behind the wheel of a stolen car and caused a three-car pileup. At the time, Bill was on probation for a number of other serious crimes he committed when he was just 16.
Wednesday his attorney said Bill would benefit from adult pretrial services. The public safety assessment tool recommended Bill’s release.
However, Judge Daniel Gallegos decided to keep him locked up and send Bill a strong message.
“Mr. Bill, I know you just turned 18. Welcome to the real world. The things that you may have been able to get away with when you were under 18, that stuff isn’t going to fly anymore,” Judge Gallegos said.
