A Florida man who wore an ankle bracelet after posting bail on pending charges was arrested this week for burglary and grand larceny, according to reports.
Joshua Reed, 19, was ordered by Broward County Court to wear a GPS monitor on his ankles for an ongoing Palm Beach case after posting bail on auto theft charges.
A man out on bail wearing an ankle bracelet went on a crime spree and reportedly broke into a home and stole a vehicle.
