You will recall Efrain Almestica from this classic video when he rammed into a Bloomington apartment building while trying to flee police late last year.

That Bloomington case is one of the open felony/other warrants under which Almestica has been jailed, among numerous other cases from Edina, Richfield, Minneapolis and Minnetonka involving multiple burglary, multiple fleeing, auto theft and obstruction.

Almestica has FOUR prior felony convictions.
ALL FELONIES STAYED.
In December 2021, Hennepin County Judge Tamara Garcia stayed three felonies.
That was AFTER Almestica had just been recently charged in the above Bloomington apartment crash and several other cases.

Another felony conviction was stayed in February of this year by Washington County Judge Francis Green III.
Again, that stay of imposition was granted despite NUMEROUS open felony cases stretching back to at least 2020.

Last September, Almestica was bailed out of jail by... you guessed it... @MNFreedomFund in the above WashingtonCo case. AGAIN, despite the fact that Almestica had NUMEROUS open serious and violent felony cases.
**1st degree burglary is a violent crime, he had 2 open.
