The Oakland County sheriff is sounding off on a magistrate who he said is going soft on crime.

Magistrate Angelina Marie Thomas-Scruggs is accused of setting bond too low in more than one case. The latest case involves domestic violence and shots being fired.

Legally, the suspect shouldn't have been anywhere near his girlfriend in the first place.

On Tuesday, Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Robertlee Rogers and his girlfriend got into an argument at her home at the Spring Lake Village apartments.

When she tried to leave in her vehicle with her 2-year-old, investigators said Rogers shot at them. Fortunately, the bullet hit the front bumper.

He ran, but deputies caught him.

Despite being charged with five felonies in this incident, the magistrate gave him a $1,000 personal bond.
