The Purge Law: SAFE-T Act allows Illinois man accused of attacking cop and threatening woman released on no cash bail: UPDATED

A man from Woodstock, Illinois with an extensive criminal history was released on bail yesterday, because of the SAFE-T Act, whose detractors call "the Purge Law."

From the Lake and McHenry County Scanner: 

The McHenry County state’s attorney said a man accused of squeezing an officer’s genitals, who also referenced knowing how to dismember a woman’s body, was released from jail under the SAFE-T Act.

Nicholas M. Koczor, 38, of Woodstock, was released from the McHenry County Jail on Monday. 

Koczor had been held in custody since October 8 after being charged with three counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer and two counts of phone harassment. 

Prosecutors said Koczor called his ex-girlfriend and left a voicemail saying he was traveling to her home.

The Lake and McHenry County Scanner also says the Koczor allegedly bit a police officer and grabbed the officer's genitals. The same source reports about a voicemail he allegedly left for his girlfriend, "He implied that he knew how to harm and dismember her body, court documents said."

UPDATE 1:30pm CDT:

According to the Arlington Cardinal, while the SAFE-T Act has technically freed Koczor, is "'currently confined' in McHenry County Jail while he may be on hold for another law enforcement agency."
