DAs Office Seeking Enhanced Penalties for Crimes Committed in Disaster Areas The Dallas County Criminal District Attorney’s Office will seek enhanced penalties for anyone caught looting in tornado-ravaged areas of Dallas County. Several people have already been arrested for stealing from homes and buildings hardest hit by as many as ten tornadoes that struck on the night of October 20, according to the National Weather Service.
A burglary of a building normally carries a range of punishment between 180 days and two years confinement. However, under the new enhancement rule, a burglary of a building committed in a disaster zone can be punished between two and ten years in prison. If the burglary is of a home located in a disaster area, an individual now faces anywhere between five years to life in prison. The sentence for the same crime before September 1 was two to twenty years.
The DAs Office is using a new law that went into effect on September 1 that seeks harsher punishment for crimes, like burglary, “The District Attorney’s assaults, and robberies, Office is using this new committed enhancement in disaster law to help areas. “Our people Legislators who have in Austin already been got it right. victimized They gave by a us some devastating Destruction from Dallas powerful tornado, Tornadoes tools to or other protect victims of disasters disaster, from becoming that we intend on using victimized again by looters,” when appropriate,” said said Jason Hermus, Chief Assistant District Attorney of Division C and the Robert Withers. Community Response Team. The enhancement goes into effect anytime the president, the governor, or county judge or mayor declares a state of disaster. The definition of disaster is “the occurrence or imminent threat of widespread or severe damage, injury, or loss of life or property resulting from any natural or man-made cause.” Some examples listed in the statute are fire, flood, earthquake, and wind, etc.
The outbreak of tornadoes caused $2 billion in losses and turned many lives upside-down. The District Attorney’s Office is doing all that it can to protect these families and business owners from further devastation. If you see something, say something. The two women were arrested because someone saw them looting under the cover of darkness and called authorities.
