Meanwhile, concerns have been raised by the District Attorney of Bernalillo County regarding suspects who are being released without GPS monitors when they are required to have them. In a recent case, Jawid Yaqubi was accused of threatening his sister with a gun and firing a shot above his mother’s head at their home in Albuquerque. The District Attorney’s office sought to keep him in custody until trial after he was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; however, the judge decided to release him.
