Blue city man with nearly 100 arrests accused of stabbing elderly victim has never served prison time

Despite that record, court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital show he's never served a day in state prison.

One 2019 case included a battery resulting in bodily injury charge, which was later dismissed in a plea deal, and a conviction for misdemeanor theft that earned Boose just two months behind bars. 

In 2020 and again in 2022, he pleaded guilty to felony trespass and was sentenced to county jail time already served, court records show.

Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) President Rick Snyder blasted the situation as proof that repeat offenders are "being turned back onto the streets faster than officers can arrest them."

Prosecutors recently downgraded Boose's latest charge from attempted murder to aggravated battery, a level three felony, reducing potential prison exposure from up to 40 years to a maximum of 16. He is being held at the Marion County Jail on a $50,000 bond. Fox News Digital has reached out to Marion County for comment.

"What's the number of times where somebody in a black robe says, 'You know what, I don't think this guy is getting it'?" Snyder asked.

"91 felonies, 2 deaths, No more chances," signs read outside San Francisco's Hall of Justice. "Judge Begert chooses politics over public safety. Justice NOW."

The case of McAlister, 50, has long been a lightning rod of restorative justice reform, forcing elected officials to confront whether policies meant to show compassion to offenders put the public at risk.

McAlister was on parole on Dec. 31, 2020, when he allegedly drove a stolen car while intoxicated, ran a red light, and killed Hanako Abe, 27, and Elizabeth Platt, 60.
