Troubled Albuquerque teen locked up again after violating probation

An Albuquerque teen who has spent most of his childhood in trouble is facing more trouble. Nineteen-year-old Mylin Bill is no stranger to law enforcement. Police have connected him to a number of crimes around the city starting when he was just 16-years-old. On Thursday, he was arrested again.

By the time he was 16, police said he had already managed to rack up 44 felony cases against him. Shooting a pregnant woman, stealing vehicles, and shooting another teen outside a movie theater are just a few things Bill has been connected to.

In August, Bill was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, having a stolen car and stolen gun. He was sentenced to two years in prison followed by five years of supervised probation. After credit for time served, Bill was released last month.

He was arrested Thursday at Central and Eubank for violating his probation. “He was wanted for a probation violation of four separate charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,” Deputy Joseph Montiel with Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office said.

into being such a sociopath. Was it grotesque abuse or exposure to some other forms of evil.

He is a sad, tragic case.

I wonder if it is possible to re-awaken his humanity.
