PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A man arrested last month after he monitored a Portland police precinct from a car loaded with weapons is back behind bars after authorities say he violated terms of his pretrial release.
Court documents say a federal employee noticed Eric Crowl outside his home Saturday afternoon, accompanied by a woman and a teenage boy. The employee said the three were "staring aggressively" into his open garage.
Two witnesses, both federal employees, said Crowl was not wearing a GPS monitoring device on his ankle, as required.
Crowl was arrested Aug. 7 after police found firearms and ammunition inside his car. Police said he had been watching and filming officers for months.
He pleaded not guilty to charges of unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm.
