WTOP reports this morning that a judge has ruled that former Prince George’s County Executive Jack Johnson no longer needs to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet. Johnson’s attorney argued that the bracelet was causing Johnson problems in his search for a new job, stating in a motion that the monitoring hardware made meeting “with other individuals outside of his residence…increasingly difficult and sometimes impossible” for the former County Executive. (Well, yeah — isn’t that kind of the point?) U.S. Magistrate Judge William Connelly agreed, though, ruling that Johnson could shed the bracelet last Monday. Johnson and his wife, County Councilmember Leslie Johnson, are still awaiting trial on evidence tampering and destruction charges.
