Capitol riot suspect wants GPS monitor removed, citing loud beeping in front of clients

Attorneys for a former Army captain charged with breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6 are asking that his ankle monitor be removed because its random beeping could lead to embarrassing interactions with prospective business clients.

The GPS device also is a safety hazard, said lawyers for Gabriel Augustin Garcia, a Florida man who was arrested in January.

“The monitor has randomly started beeping loudly around potential clients, immediately followed by an embarrassing phone call from pretrial services asking for his exact location,” the lawyers said in court documents filed earlier this month.

“The monitor around his ankle is unsafe and a work hazard; he climbs ladders and the GPS monitor often gets stuck on the next ladder step when climbing; one time, he almost fell off a ladder.”

From the link in the OP: "Garcia owns a Miami roofing business, Supreme Aluminum Florida, that employs 14 workers, the lawyers said in the documents."

Not smart enough to realize that there are consequences when you perform criminal acts.
