After police arrested Jonas Bruce for menacing his mother and stepfather with a rifle at their Baker home, a judge let him walk free last fall on a US$6,000 (RM25,446) bond and a mandate that he submit to GPS tracking by a private company.
Now Bruce is on the lam after allegedly shooting a woman in front of her 11-year-old son in New Orleans earlier this month – and the GPS tracking hasn’t helped find him. He has evaded US Marshals and New Orleans police for nine days, court records show, in part because the company tasked with tracking him did so using an app on Bruce’s smartphone which he apparently circumvented simply by turning his phone off.
