A man who was arrested for participating in the January 6 inusrrection at the United States Capitol has gone before a judge to complain the beeping of his ankle monitor is disrupting his ability to do business.
Gabriel Augustin Garcia, a member of the Proud Boys extremist organization who have been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), has been wearing the ankle monitor as a condition of his release.
Attorneys representing Garcia claimed the ankle monitor was a "work hazard" and "unsafe" in a recent legal filing asking the conditions of his release be changed.
The attorneys said:
"Also, the monitor has randomly started beeping loudly around potential clients, immediately followed by an embarrassing phone call from pretrial services asking for his exact location."
They also reported Garcia nearly fell from a ladder when the ankle monitor became caught on one of it's rungs while he was climbing.
It didn't take long for Twitter to begin roasting the man.

Judge should increase the volume on the ankle monitor and add additional 6 months for complaining and wasting the courts time!— Christiana (@Christiana) 1631206696
Too bad they can\u2019t make it louder!— Jennifer \ud83c\udd98 Resists \ud83c\udf0a \ud83e\uddec\ud83c\udf0a\u2744\ufe0f (@Jennifer \ud83c\udd98 Resists \ud83c\udf0a \ud83e\uddec\ud83c\udf0a\u2744\ufe0f) 1631201700
Give him a second monitor for his other ankle so the beeps will be in stereo.— GetVaccinated2FightTheVariants (@GetVaccinated2FightTheVariants) 1631205859
Trying to feel sorry for him but\u2026. No I\u2019m actually not trying at all.— Steph (@Steph) 1631217429

If they put him in jail he won't need the ankle monitor— G (@G) 1631281206
If it's going off during a meeting it probably is indicating he is outside of a geographic area that is specified by the judge's orders.— Pat Krueger (@Pat Krueger) 1631228668

Garcia, a former Florida Republican congressional candidate, faces multiple charges in relation to his participation in the January 6 Capitol riot. These charges include entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
He posted video of himself and other rioters on social media which included him taunting Capitol police.
He yelled:
"You ain't stopping a million. You ain't gonna hold a million back today. Sorry. Ain't holding a million of us. And there's more! [...] USA! Storm this sh*t!"
Garcia attempted to defend his membership in the Proud Boys during an interview with the Miami Herald earlier this year.
"I'm upset we were called a hate group when you have antifa beating up on elderly people coming out of Trump rallies, burning down police cars. You'll never see any of us do that."
A member of the Proud Boys\u2014 and a participant in the Jan. 6th insurrection\u2014 complained to a judge that his ankle monitor beeps loudly when he\u2019s meeting with clients for his roofing business.\n\nApparently, \u2018Domestic Terrorist Roofing\u2019 isn\u2019t a catchy name.https://www.rawstory.com/capitol-rioter-gabriel-augustin-garcia/\u00a0\u2026— Dr. David A.
