SOUTH BEND — Former Roseland Town Council member David Snyder was released from jail just before noon Tuesday after $25,000 was posted on his behalf, county police reported.

Snyder, 56, was jailed Friday by Magistrate Rochelle Cotter after a hearing on his continued child support delinquency.

The child support enforcement division of the St. Joseph County prosecutor’s office took Snyder back to court after receiving information from Texas in March that Snyder owed more than $84,000 in back support for his two sons living there. He had made no payments this year.

This stint in jail was Snyder’s third for child support since July. Then, Cotter ordered Snyder to jail for 45 days or until he paid 10 percent of the $104,000 he owed at the time.

He posted $10,400 and was released within a couple hours.

In November, Snyder was ordered to pay double that amount, or $20,800, or serve 45 days. He was released in a few hours when a friend posted the amount due with a credit card.

Maybe he could get a job as a politician? That way he can steal from his constituents legally. Might as well get paid to steal.

How about a Judge sentencing him to jail time AND the TOTAL amount due to these children that need extra care for medical reasons! Seems Mr. Snyder has an endless money bag somewhere....I wonder....how far is Roseland in the RED??????

What a smarty pants!! He should have left his pants zipped a long time ago if he doens't want to pay to raise his childrem. How smart can a guy be? He had mistreated too many people to last 10 life times.

Another deadbeat dad. He has the funds, or can get them, make him pay it all. Don't let him out til he does. Better yet, garnish his wages, a guy I used to work with didn't pay his and garnished his to the point that he couldn't buy food. don't get me wrong, he should have been willing to care for his children, instead he blew it off.

I continue to find it amazing that every time this person ends up in jail someone else comes up with the money to bail his butt out. Why don't these same people realize that they are enabling him? Just leave his butt in jail until his friends and family can come up with the total amount owed. Soon these people will get tired of paying his bills for him. I wonder if his friends and family would pay my medical bills for me before I get thrown in jail? Just a thought

X's always come out ahead, all you people need to get off your computers and talk to a few of these men that pay the support and let them tell you how hard it is. Alot of these women make a living collecting child support. If you can't afford kids, don't have them and don't expect everyone else to support them. Women get ALL the goverment help without asking and then some. $25,000 is more than most people make in a year and survive well. You are all just busy bodys!!

Why wasn't he sentenced to 2 years in jail??? President Clinton signed a bill that any deadbeat parent behind by $10,000. spends 2 years in prison.

He came up with $25,000. Grrrreeeaaaat. Did he get caught up on the balance? If not, put him back in jail. Seems like a plan to get the money to his ex! See, he can do it without Cheryl's check book!

According to News Center 16 his mommy stepped up and paid it. Gee, Mrs. Snyder, you could probably legally disown him for a lot less than that!

Tuesday, Apr 29 at 4:52 PM Becky wrote ...

Any woman who is married to a person like this(cannot be a real man) who would deprive his own kids something like the money that is owed to them...Dorothy deserves what she gets...they both should just move away from here so we don't have to listen to their story any longer. His "friends" need to wise up and realize that they will never see this money again.......

Wasn't there recently a guy that was delinquent on his support & ended up in prison for like 8 years?? Why aren't they putting this loser in prison? He has already shown repeatedly he has no intention of paying. Shame on him! What a piece of doo-doo!!

Tuesday, Apr 29 at 4:19 PM How? wrote ...

how does a man with no job continue to post bonds of such large amounts? Is this why Cheryl Griddley could not keep the Roseland bills paid?

Tuesday, Apr 29 at 4:12 PM Christine A. wrote ...

Wow Dorothy, you've got yourself a real gem!!!
