You Can’t Make This Up: Drug Pusher Back Behind Bars Days After Receiving Clemency from Biden

A convicted drug dealer who received a get-out-of-jail-free card from the Biden regime has already been arrested again.

Dequan Willard, a 30-year-old Texas man, was granted clemency by President Joe Biden on January 17 as part of a sweeping mass release that included 2,490 federal inmates.

But it didn’t take long for the so-called “nonviolent offender” to show his true colors.

Just seven days later, Willard was arrested again for allegedly violating the conditions of his supervised release, according to Law and Crime.

Federal prosecutors in the Northern District of Texas revealed that during a visit with probation officers, Willard tried to cheat a drug test using a bag of diluted coffee—a desperate attempt to cover up drug use.

Even worse, prosecutors say Willard admitted to using K2, a synthetic marijuana, while in prison, which means Biden freed a criminal who was already violating prison rules.

“I look at this in the sense that we’ve had dedicated men and women in law enforcement who are putting it all on the line,” Lubbock County Sheriff Kelly Rowe told NBC affiliate KCBD.

“We’re talking about dangerous offenders where their activities in the course of investigation are very high risk. The point of arrest, very high risk. And to see all of that work basically washed away, all of that risk washed away because of a political decision made in Washington, D.C., only serves to make me angry about it.”

“I mean, if you want to let some of the worst of the worst back out on the street, say it for what it is,” he added.

In another interview with Lubbock Lights, Rowe said, “The bottom line is this guy is no saint. We know, as a law enforcement organization, this is a bad cat. He should never have been cut loose – like most of them.”

Willard’s criminal history speaks for itself. In 2016, he was convicted in a massive cocaine distribution conspiracy that resulted in law enforcement seizing over two kilograms of cocaine and multiple firearms.

He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison. But thanks to Biden’s reckless push to release thousands of “nonviolent” drug offenders, his sentence was reduced—and ultimately commuted.

His early release was not a full pardon but rather a political handout by an administration desperate to score points with the radical left’s so-called criminal justice reform movement. Instead of serving his full time behind bars, Willard was put on five years of supervised release.

Yet, as Sheriff Kelly Rowe of Lubbock County pointed out, Biden’s decision has already proven to be an utter disaster.

According to Lubbock Lights, Willard could be imprisoned for another 3 to 9 months.
