A composite image of footage from the Capitol riots, which the FBI says shows Gabriel Augustin Garcia.A Capitol riot suspect asked for his ankle monitor to be removed since, saying it's bad for business.He also said it is a workplace hazard. The court has yet to make a decision.A man accused of storming the US Capitol on January 6 asked for his ankle monitor to be removed, arguing that its beeping embarrasses him in front of clients and harms his business.
In a request to modify his release conditions filed September 1, Garcia's lawyers said the monitor is a physical safety hazard in his roofing business, and is also offputting to people he hopes will buy his services. The monitor is also cumbersome and hazardous at work, they said. "He climbs ladders and the GPS monitor often gets stuck on the next ladder step when climbing," they wrote.His lawyers said that Garcia is not considered a flight risk, and has so far complied with all the conditions of his release.
Garcia was arrested January 19 on charges of civil disorder, entering a restricted building, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
