Andy Esquivel has been arrested (again) and is now in state custody.  He was taken into custody just before noon on Monday, February 1st – booking number 201600817.  His bail is set at $25,000 cash.  He cannot bond out, he must pay the full amount to be released.

For those of us watching this drama unfold, this comes as no surprise.  This is not the last time Andy will be arrested for probation violation, but because this is the first time it will be his shortest time in jail (30 days).  Next time it’ll be 90 days, then 6 months according to AP&P guidelines.

I’ll post updates on Andy’s status and audio of the court hearings as they become available.  My hunch, given how damning the report by Andy’s probation officer was, this won’t end well. Here’s the custody information website link.

UPDATE: Andy’s hearing before Judge Connors is scheduled for Tuesday, February 16th @ 9:15am.

UPDATE: Andy was released from jail on his own recognizance and a sentencing hearing has been set for March 8th @ 9:15am.  At this hearing, based on what he is posting online, we expect Andy to claim that he has a job, that his parole officer is somehow ‘corrupt’, and that he needs a 6th PO who will be more sympathetic to his latest scam, SmileyHeroes.com.  

UPDATE: The February 16th hearing was a short one, so we’re not going to bother posting the audio online.

UPDATE: Andy’s sentencing hearing has been postponed five times since his release, usually at the request of his public defender.  The new hearing has been scheduled for June 14th @ 9:00am.
