JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A Palatka man has earned a dubious
distinction: Alger Scott has been arrested 101 times.
The most recent time came Wednesday when the 54-year-old was
charged with selling drugs within 1,000 feet of a school.
His rap sheet includes charges of petty theft, drug possession,
trespassing, aggravated assault, and armed robbery. Most were
misdemeanors.
State prison records show he has served stints at local jails
and about three years in prison since the late 1990s.
Putnam County Circuit Court Judge Art Nichols says communities
everywhere deal with habitual offenders like Scott, whom he says
take up time and jail space.
