Florida 'sexual predator' arrested 1 day after release from 9-year sentence for removing GPS monitor: sheriff
2023-07-23
I've been thinking of having my face done like that so I look rilly, rilly kewl too.
[NYPOST] A "sexual predator" who allegedly removed his ankle monitor and then overdosed, was taken back into custody just one day after he was released from a more than nine-year prison sentence for lewd and lascivious battery with a victim 12-15 years old, according to the sheriff’s office.

Albert Lee Gardner, 29, was released from his nine-and-a-half-year sentence on July 7 and was arrested on July 8 after authorities found his ankle monitor in a convenience store trash can, the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office said in a release.

A probation officer called deputies to the 7-Eleven in Brooksville, Florida, after noticing his GPS tracker had been there for an unusually long time.

Gardner had been given five and a half years of supervised release following his sentence, according to FOX 35.

Deputies then got a call about an overdose at an apartment and found Gardner had taken what his sister called an "unknown narcotic." He was revived with Narcan.
WHY??
After being cleared at a hospital, Gardner was booked without bond and charged with violating his probation and tampering with an electronic monitoring device.

#5  Glad he was caught. If they had to issue a BOLO for him, every Starbucks in the area might have been missing staff periodically until the Garner was back where he belonged. Are they sure he went out after drugs, maybe he was trying to locate an extra bowling pin to add more difficulty to his act.

#4  Such tracking hardware is usually managed by a private company. Like traffic cameras. It's another grift.

#3  At least somebody's checking the trackers there.
Turns out, in Texas they generally don't even check.
