In related county news, the District Attorney of Bernalillo County has expressed concern about suspects being released without GPS monitors when they are required to have them. This frustration follows incidents such as the case of Jawid Yaqubi, who was accused of threatening his sister with a gun and firing a shot near his mother in their Albuquerque home. Despite the DA’s office requesting that Yaqubi remain in custody pending trial on aggravated assault charges, a judge decided to release him.
