Judge Orders Defendant to Wear GPS Monitor

A DC Superior Court judge ordered a defendant to reinstall his GPS monitor on July 15.

The defendant is charged with threats to do bodily harm and a bail violation. He was released on his promise to return to court for his next hearing, but has since been required to wear a GPS tracking device due to issues complying with his pretrial release conditions. 

Police removed his GPS monitor on June 13. He was supposed to get a new one but has not yet.

Judge John McCabe said the defendant would likely go to jail if he does not comply with GPS monitoring.

A hearing is scheduled for July 29 to ensure the GPS was installed.
