Kim Potter judge releases dangerous criminal, 18, for funeral - who then goes ...

An 18-year-old Minneapolis man tabbed by investigators as having 'a lengthy juvenile delinquency history involving assault and weapons offenses' is now at large, after the judge who presided over killer cop Kim Potter's trial had him released to attend a funeral - only for him not to return.

Police are now on the hunt for Shevirio Kavirion Childs-Young, after Judge Regina Chu administered a warrant for the fugitive's arrest for 'failing to return to Hennepin County Jail after temporary release,' court filings from the state of Minnesota show.

Childs-Young, who was 17 when he was arrested for possession of a Glock pistol and assaulting an officer in November, was temporarily released by Chu, 68, at 9:30 am on January 3 to attend an unspecified family member's funeral, filings further reveal. 

The plan was for him to 'report back' to Hennepin County Jail by half-past noon that same day. However, he never showed.

'Warrant issued in the amount of $40,000 (to cover both listed cases) due to defendant failing to return to Hennepin County Jail after temporary release, Chu wrote in an order filed just two hours later. 

Now, more than a week later, Childs-Young's whereabouts are still unknown.

Childs-Young was charged on December 2 with assaulting a Minneapolis police officer and illegal possession of a firearm during a traffic stop on November 30.

According to an arrest warrant, the then-17-year-old was traveling with two other passengers, both female - one of whom was also a juvenile - and two small children in his vehicle when he was pulled over.
