An Indiana man accused of stabbing a 69-year-old at a gas station has ignited outrage after records revealed a staggering criminal history – nearly 100 prior arrests – with little to show in the way of punishment.
Courtney Boose, 41, was arrested after the alleged gas-station stabbing, according to the Lawrence Police Department and Fox 59, which reported that Boose has been arrested 99 times over the years on charges ranging from theft and trespassing to battery.

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

Public filings list dozens of convictions and dismissals spanning more than two decades, mostly low-level felonies and misdemeanors such as theft, criminal trespass and panhandling. Even when convicted, Boose typically received short county-jail terms or time served.
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. {snip}
