Judge pauses decision on GPS removal for Nicholas Corpus after state raises safety concerns
Summary
Probation recommended lifting a GPS monitoring requirement for Nicholas Corpus, but the court delayed action after the state reported recent alleged attempts to contact the victim and asked for a follow‑up hearing and additional information.
A request to remove GPS monitoring for Nicholas Isaiah Corpus, who has been on probation for roughly 14 months, was put on hold by the 187th District Court after the state reported allegations indicating the complainant remained concerned about safety.
Probation told the court Corpus had no violations, was reporting and completing required programs, and that the office had no concerns about removing the GPS. Probation recommended lifting the monitoring because Corpus had complied with conditions, completed required classes and shown steady reporting behavior.
The state reported that the complainant still had safety concerns and said someone connected to Corpus had viewed the complainant’s LinkedIn profile; prosecutors also described an at‑large misdemeanor arrest for two attempted contacts by phone and Facebook messaging. Because the state conveyed those allegations to the court, Judge Stephanie Boyd declined to terminate the GPS monitoring immediately and said she was “inclined to lift the GPS” but needed more information before doing so.
The court ordered Corpus placed on tracking‑only monitoring (so his location will be reported), asked the state to produce its records about the alleged contacts for defense review, and set a follow‑up hearing for May 29. The court also directed that the complainant be available to appear at the next hearing and asked probation to seek a fee waiver or deferral given the cost burden of GPS monitoring on Corpus and his family.
Defence counsel and the state agreed the additional time would allow review of the allegations; the judge told the defendant he may appear by Zoom for the next hearing. The court deferred a final decision until the May 29 status check so it could assess written evidence and any witness testimony.
