The Spanish Fort man accused of killing two cyclists with his truck is arrested two days after he was released on bond.

According to the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office, the court ordered Patrick Ballard to submit a plan outlining how he would spend his time while out on bond within 24 hours of his release. Ballard got out of jail Wednesday after posting a $300,000 bond, but he never filed that plan.

Ballard was first arrested on Labor Day of last year. Prosecutors say Ballard was drunk and speeding when he crashed into Bill Imle and Art Clemmons, Jr. on Bromley Road near Stapleton. Both men were killed instantly.

He didn’t learn a thing from the first occurrence that took a life. Now after taking three lives he thinks he is entitled to bond? His life is now officially in the landfill to be packed away with the other garbage from other peoples lives. The only thing left to do now is to put him somewhere where he ‘ll never have a chance to do it again.Since I don’t think they’ll ever be able to get him on one form of murder or another,I think it should be at least life.WHAT A CRYING SHAME! Three people dead and a young life in the garbage pile,all because of drugs and alcohol.

How many times does youthful offender count? When a normal person has problems caused by their alcohol consumption, they stop using. What if he had accidentally run over a judge?

wait, so does this mean he basically spent 30K to just go back to jail? And if he wants out, has to post another bond? What a moron

I went to school with this kid. Its terrible to think that someone could be so foolish, and at the same time, so unlucky. I mean, what are the chances that both times he crashed while driving drunk, he runs bicyclists over?? Thats rotten luck. Even if he is stupid for D&D;

Thats where he needs to be, I can’t believe they let him out to begin with. I think it’s crazy you can kill two people, and be out on bond, walking the streets as a free man, like nothing happened, while the family’s of two people are trying to figure out how to carry on their lives. He should get a life sentence, as he already handed out several of them himself, by taking the lives of someones dad/brother/uncle/cousin/son !!!!
