As a follow up to our post on Thursday on Dawnta Harris, the 16-year-old who allegedly ran over and killed a Baltimore cop with a stolen car while on house arrest for stealing a car, new documents have come to light that confirm that Harris’ mother begged Juvenile Service to keep her son locked up:

And another document shows that officials did not seek detention of Harris on May 18 in an emergency hearing called after the teen missed numerous check-ins to confirms his house arrest. He allegedly killed officer Amy Caprio on May 21:

Wow. This kid should’ve been locked up.
Officer Caprio was laid to rest on Friday in an emotional ceremony attended by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan:
