Accused shooting suspect returns to jail hours after bonding out

La Crosse police are seething over the latest revolving door criminal case in the city.

The case involves Jesse Turnmire,29, accused of shooting into a south side home in La Crosse on Sunday and facing several charges for that.

Police criticized judge Ramona Gonzalez for lowering Turnmire’s bond yesterday from $10,000 cash to $2,500.

Turnmire bonded out at 6:30 p.m. Four hours later, police picked him up again during a drug investigation.

They arrested him with meth, a pile of cash and a pellet gun that looked like the real thing. The guy Turnmire was arrested with, 32-year-old Matthew Symitczek, was the one who posted Turnmire’s bond. Both men face charges in the bust.

A search warrant led to police finding more meth, suspected heroin and handgun ammunition in a hotel room where both men are suspected of staying.

In a statement on the arrest, assistant police chief Rob Abraham said, in part, “Firing bullets into a house is a serious community safety issue. In this incident I don’t believe that community safety was considered by lowering the bond. I don’t understand why our judges keep letting felons with guns consistently back onto the streets.”

Later, on Twitter, Abraham emphasized his position with this: “Judge Gonzalez your reputation is holding strong as a favorite of the criminals!!!”
