MOTHER OF BALTIMORE RIOTER REGRETS TELLING SON TO TURN HIMSELF IN AS BAIL IS SET AT $500,000


Allen Bullock,18, was all over the Baltimore Sun Newspaper last Sunday seen smashing a Police car with a traffic cone. He posted the photo with a message for Freddie Gray, (the black man who died in police custody) on his Facebook page.
When his stepfather saw the photos in the paper, he asked Allen to turn himself in.
Allen did and his bail has been set at $500,000 and with a threat of eight years in jail.
The family are no longer sure they should have told him to turn himself in.
In an interview with The Guardian, the mother Bobbi Smallwood remarks,
"It is just so much money, who could afford to pay that?" "If they let him go, he could at least save some money and pay them back for the damage he did"
When asked if she regrets the decision to turn in her son, she replied, "I do".
The stepfather however still stands by his  decision.
