In June 2023, we did a &#8220;Breaking Bond&#8221; report detailing how Woodard repeatedly violated his bond conditions and remained free from jail.<\/p>\n<p data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\">&#8220;Almost three years later, here we are again, only he&#8217;s continued to increase his bond violation reports to a magnitude I&#8217;ve not seen since we&#8217;ve been covering this,&#8221; said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n<p data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\">In December 2023, court records show the 208th\u2014Beverly Armstrong&#8217;s court\u2014admonished Woodard, telling him if the bond violations continue, action is going to be taken.<\/p>\n<p original-article-post=\"\" origination_station=\"KRIV\" data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\">What they&#8217;re saying:<\/p>\n<p data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\">&#8220;Absolutely nothing has happened since December of &#8217;23,&#8221; Kahan said. &#8220;Seven bond violation reports filed, six after we first aired the story back in 2023. And no action, even though the court said there was going to be, was taken.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\">&#8220;It&#8217;s disgusting that he can go on with his life while my brother is in this box,&#8221; said David&#8217;s sister, Pamela Walters. &#8220;My mother is almost 86 years old. We&#8217;ve been waiting over three years to go to trial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\">&#8220;Why have bond conditions if you&#8217;re not going to enforce them? It makes a farce out of the entire system,&#8221; said Kahan. &#8220;This also leads to why the public continues to have little faith in our justice system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"group-source-paragraph\" data-v-4fbf7207=\"\">The Source: The information in this article comes from court documents and interviews.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/tag\/series\/breaking-bond\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Breaking Bond<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/tag\/top-stories\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Top Stories<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox26houston.com\/tag\/us\/tx\/houston\" class=\"tags-tag\" data-v-06e3e0fd=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Houston<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOUSTON &#8211; We first told you about Cardarius Woodard in June 2023 regarding repeated bond condition violations.
