1500$ bail? WTF. Maybe some local Dexter can watch for when he gets out on bail. There is no need for such POS existence. That is ridiculous to have a $1500 bail. Kamala must have been working the Mag. desk that day in South Charleston. Well maybe not, she would have just let him out without any bail.
