A defendant was scheduled for a pretrial show cause hearing for noncompliance with release conditions. But, it was discovered that his GPS device was malfunctioning.

Drayvin Wilson is charged with assault with intent to commit robbery while armed. Wilson allegedly tried to rob a man while he was playing with his dog in his own backyard, according to court documents.

Wilson has a stay away order from the victim.

However, Judge Judith Smith vacated the hearing when it was discovered that Wilson’s GPS device has been malfunctioning.

It is unclear why his GPS was malfunctioning, but Wilson has been given a new GPS device with two additional chargers.

Wilson is scheduled for a hearing on Aug. 7.
