Omaha man on probation wore GPS tracker while robbing Bluffs McDonald's at gunpoint, police say

This isn't about the gun. It's about the dumb.

By Mike Bell

COUNCIL BLUFFS — An Omaha man who was wearing a GPS tracker while on probation is charged in connection with the December armed robbery of a Council Bluffs fast food restaurant, according to police.

Keonte Martin, 20, is charged with first-degree robbery and ongoing criminal conduct. As of Friday, he was being held at the Pottawattamie County Jail on $100,000 bail after his arrest Aug. 3.

If convicted of both charges, Martin faces up to 50 years in prison.

According to Council Bluffs police, officers responded to the McDonald’s at 16th Street and West Broadway on Dec. 3, 2017, at about 7:20 p.m.

could possibly be that stupid. Before arguing that, however, I need to offer this motion to exclude the tracking device info, as a violation of my right not to incriminate myself"

Did he want to get caught ?
Maybe he wanted back in on that room and board structured jail accommodations.
