Guy Arrested One Day After Leaving 9-Year Sentence For Cutting Off GPS Tracker: A man is back in custody after experiencing the sweet taste of freedom for just one day. Reports are now coming out about how Albert Lee Gardner, also referred to as "Joker”, was released from Hernando County Detention Center in Florida with a GPS ankle monitor on July 7th and was rearrested the next day. The 29-year-old who had spent 9 years and six months behind bars for battery on a victim under 12 years old, was found in the middle of an overdose by sheriff deputies after he cut off his court-mandated tracking device. On July 8, a probation and parole officer noticed the ankle monitor was at a 7-Eleven gas station for an unusual amount of time. When deputies arrived at the gas station looking for Gardner, they found the tracking device in a garbage can. Then a short time later, a call came in about an overdose less than a mile away. That’s when authorities realized it was Gardner. They administered Narcan to him, saving his life, and then booked him right back in the county jail after being cleared by medical staff.
