Dumbass Usual Suspect®, out on bail for an armed robbery charge and required to wear an electronic monitoring device, decides to commit armed robbery again.
Since two of his victims noticed the monitoring device and advised police of same, the police were able to track him via the cuff and arrest him.
Ok, he's proved he can't be trusted not to commit crimes while out on bail, can we keep him locked up for our own safety this time?

Since you seem to believe that usual suspectitude belongs to a particular race, I highly recommend this documentary: http://wildandwonderfulwhites.com/
@wally: According to Wikipedia West Virginia's demographic is 93.2% Caucasian, which qualifies it as a monoculture. Of course the usual suspects in WV are going to be white.
Here in Charlotte blacks make up 33.5% of the population, yet commit 90%+ of the city's violent crimes such as murders, assaults, rapes and robberies, so when I link a story of violent crime in Charlotte, blacks are the usual suspects, statistically speaking. And that pattern tends to repeat not just in the US, but worldwide: where blacks of African descent make up over 25% of a population, they are going to commit a disproportionate number of the violent crimes, very often the majority of them.
...and yet the Whites example holds the key to why your simple correlation of race to crime is flawed. There are many reasons, including some important demographic ones,why criminality is higher among blacks. If they merely possessed a criminal gene that whites don't have, which is a natural conclusion from the superficial skimming of data that many people perform, then West Virginia should be an idyllic haven of lawfulness.
@wally: According to US Census data from 2008, West Virginia is among the low-crime states. I looked at those numbers and WV came in 14th low crime, with Maine showing the least crimes and District of Columbia showing the most.
The top ten low-crime states, with the exception of Virginia (#9), are in the New England states or the mountain West, and for the most part feature monocultures.
