NIAGARA FALLS, NY-- The Niagara Falls Police Department is reviewing their policies and procedures after they let the wrong man out of jail earlier this week.
Police officials admit they made a mistake in letting the wrong person out on bail January 11th.
According to the police report, officers attempted to pull over a car driven by Paul Fields, 25, on Ferry Avenue in the Falls. The report goes on to say Fields refused to pull over and led police to 22nd Street. His passenger, Fajri Hilson, 26, jumped out of the car and ran. Police caught up with Hilson a few blocks away and arrested him and Fields.
Both men were taken to jail. A few hours later, someone posted Fields' bail, but police accidently released Hilson.
Officers located him several hours later and he was brought back to jail. http://www.wgrz.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=104861&catid=13
