Criminal Spotlight: Kendrick Hammond

Updated 10/30/06- It is worse than I thought! I received an e-mail from a woman who lives in the Belmont area of Charlotte and she told me the people in that area are very familiar with Kendrick Hammond. She said he is "one of those guys that if you see, you should run... not walk... to get away from him."

On that note- I decided it was time to move from the "free" information websites and purchase information on Hammond's Criminal History. I've updated his criminal history information for your reading pleasure... Please note the number of dismissals, especially the 8/18/02 murder charge that was dismissed!! As always, please feel free to copy and paste this information in your e-mails to our elected officials as another example of why we need to see change and more funding for our court system! Remember ... Kendrick Hammond is on the streets of Charlotte right now!
-----------------------------------------------------------
The habitual repeat offender that I would like to focus on today is 26 year old Kendrick Omar Hammond. According to the NC Dept of Corrections Website, Hammond's first serious run in with the law was in 1998- when Hammond was 18 years old.

Since 1998, Hammond has been arrested by CMPD at least 45 times! Not all the charges are serious but they are still arrests!!! What can Charlotte do with these habitual repeat offenders who waste our tax dollars and police resources?
