Daniel Riley violated his GPS monitoring system dozens of times, including the day police connected him to a car involved in other crimes. ST. LOUIS — Police are now investigating if several of the dozens of times Daniel Riley violated his bond for an armed robbery included trips to gas stations in recent weeks where cameras captured him driving a car connected to a shooting and potential car break-ins. On Feb. 13, he was cited for violating his bond because the device’s battery had died. Police Chief Robert Tracy told multiple officers during a meeting Wednesday detectives believe Riley is connected to several crimes in recent weeks, according to multiple police sources who attended the meeting. On Wednesday, her spokeswoman Allison Hawk issued another statement claiming her office asked to revoke Riley’s bond at least three times, but Judge Bryan Hettenbach refused to do so.
