Chris Osteen could well be out of jail by the time this is read. 

He was booked Tuesday for alleged unauthorized entry of a place of business. Bail was set at $25,000. 

Osteen, 41, of Alexandria was out on $20,000 bond from a July 27 arrest on an armed robbery charge when nabbed this week. 

He had posted bond in the armed robbery case two days after arrest. 

He bonded out after four other arrests this year in 12 hours of less: 

July 14, resisting, contempt, $2,500, two hours; May 6, burglary, motor vehicle theft, $20,000, three hours; February 27, criminal trespass (11 pm), $500, two hours; February 27, remaining after forbidden (1:20 am), $250, 12 hours. 

Osteen was also in custody 12 hours after an October 2023 booking on allegations of criminal trespass, unauthorized entry of an occupied dwelling and resisting. Bail was $3,500. 

More time was required to make bail after a November 2022 arrest on possession, aggravated battery 2nd degree and resisting charges. 

Bail set at $557,599 had Osteen in custody five days. 

Two arrests on contempt charges required six hours or fewer in May and February 2022. 

Records are not immediately available on when he posted $21,500 bail set for a February 2021 arrest or outcome of the case. 

Osteen was charged then with manufacturing/possessing a delayed incendiary device, trespassing and disturbing the peace. 

Officers called to a Sunday morning disturbance at a Jackson Street convenience store discovered the alleged device in Osteen’s vehicle.
