By the time Frankie Resto was arrested on suspicion of murdering a Meriden store clerk in June, he had collected four violations of probation, including testing positive for marijuana and cocaine and failing to show up for an evaluation at the Wheeler Clinic.

Without having a community sponsor nor parole supervision, Resto hit the streets.
