Before that, Gonzalez-Oregon was charged in February with simple battery under the Georgia Family Violence Act with the same woman, which is why she got a protective order against him.
HCSO said their investigation revealed Gonzalez-Oregon put the tracker in the woman’s trunk two weeks after he got out of jail for the simple battery charge.
When deputies met with the woman, they found the device in the vehicle. The woman also gave them a recording device she found under the vehicle’s passenger seat.
Gonzalez-Oregon remains in jail on an aggravated stalking charge, which is a felony.
