James Anthony Williams – the accused murderer of Shannon Harps – showed up in an agitated state at his probation officer’s office the day of the murder and was “barely able to hold himself together.” But in spite of this, he was given a bus pass and told to come back to visit in three days:

Williams was also “having trouble controlling violent thoughts” and was barred from his mental health clinic for “threatening staff and females in a highly sexualized manner” in the months before the New Years Eve stabbing:
