Yeah!!!!

Great Job Harford County Sheriff's Office !! One less thug on the run. This one need to stay behind bars along time with his rap record !!

Nice!

I think we should start a facebook group supporting him because he might have been abused...

Once again, I have to ask why a creep like this is loose on the streets. His rap sheet since Dec 1999 one month after he turned 18 includes: theft, malicious destruction of property, violation of probation, possesion of drugs, illegal entry, assault, unlawful taking of a vehicle, minor possesion of alcohol, disorderly conduct, burglary, speeding, driving without a license, armed robbery, attempted 1st degree murder, reckless endangerment, bad check, failure to report an accident, and many of these are multiple times. The only reason there are not more is that he was locked up part of the time (2006-2009 and mid 2010-late 2011 it seems).

Hopefully this time he'll be locked up for a long time, so the rest of us can be safe.

They need to put his ass away for life. He is no good for anything. The car that Julius had took wthout permission on Sept.26,1999.and charged with reckless endangerment my son was in the car that Julius had hit a tree head-on and my son was killed at inpacked.

Dorothy, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your son. Hopefuly you can have some justice . May God comfort you and keep you at peace.

I say blame he parents...for naming him Elmo!

No such thing as a free lunch, unless you are the one locked up.

Cost per year in DOC: $31,200. If Elmo lives until 72: $1,310,400.

I can't tell you how to spend your money...er, our money. Hey, wait a minute...

Dorothy. I'm sorry for your loss.

And a doubleThank you to the Sheriff's Department for their commitment to Harford County.

Ashley, I don't have enough detail. Juries get a better shot at figuring out what to do.

A wise man once pointed out that dilemmas are problems that do not have solutions; therefore, the best you can do is try to manage dilemmas, presumably on a case-by-case basis.

On the topic of an eye for eye: Prison is a place. This place keeps the criminal isolated from the general public. But we've succumbed to assuming that Prison is the Punishment when it should be that Prison is one Place where some Punishment takes place. In this case of stolen money, I believe the criminal aught to be employed in hard labor in order to pay back the banks and community who lost their trust in him. This requires a work ethic, a job, responsibility, etc. Sitting in a jail doesn't build character. Hard work does.

We need to come up with a way for prisoners to earn their keep. Like a giant hamster wheels that create electricity.

I'm not condoning what has happened of late.. but I can tell you he is a good guy at heart.

the attempted murder charge-
he and his best friend were drinking and driving and wrecked. his best friend was killed from the accident. get your facts straight please.

thank-you

I say all of you that get on here an bash people you don't even know based on a sheet of paper that says all the things he has done wrong what about all the things he has done right its people like you why the world is going to shit so quick to judge somebody being incarcerated dose not teach u how to live in society it teaches you how to be a criminal. I mean your surrounded by criminals not successful people. I'm just saying there's more to somebody then a rap sheet.

Mark, have you ever robbed a bank?

No

Mark, I don't want to put words into other people's mouth as I don't know the man accused of these robberies. However, once you approach 30 years old you are held to a higher standard for your actions by society. Many second, third, and fourth chances are given by our justice system during the young adult phase of our life. In an attempt to correct bad behavior. The crimes he is charged with are extremely serious. If you were the Judge and if he was found guilty, what would be your sentence for bank robbery?

You obviously know this man, but what would you do now?

There are always two sides to every story and unless you know the facts then perhaps you should not sit in judgment. The attempted murder charge was related to the car accident, and the burglary charge was reported by a “pillar of the community”, a drug dealer, I can only assume it was a drug deal gone wrong.
I am not justifying in anyway the crimes committed by Julius Elmo (family name, and really freaking petty to pick on). We should all be held accountable for our choices and face the resulting consequences; which is what will happen in this case. However, the courts will only address a symptom of the real issue. Perhaps this young man is beyond any real help but there are those who are young enough, who could potential, have a positive end to their story if provided real help.

If you met this young man, without prejudice of reviewing his rap sheet, you would instantly like him. He has a family, friends and a good heart. He was not abused but he made poor choices in his early teen years, which most of us are guilty of, considering teenagers lack the ability to properly calculate risk. These poor choices resulted in a nasty drug habit. This in part was triggered by the tragic car accident in 1999; by the way he had permission to use the vehicle. He never dealt with the loss and couldn’t even talk about it; instead Julius numbed himself with drugs and alcohol.
As to our wonderful legal system, if you are a serial killer or a pedophile you get psyche evaluations and treated as someone with a disease, therefore they are not actually “guilty” of their crimes. If you are a drug addict you get thrown in with general population with no treatment. If you think even one judge sentence Julius to rehab, you would be dead wrong. That only happens in Hollywood; rehab instead of jail time. His drug habit did not stop, in fact it flourished in prison, with nothing better to do and easy access, including from those entrusted to enforce the rules. Drugs change who you are and who you could have been. Something you would never consider in a “normal” state of mind becomes the only option while under the influence.
