Man equipped with GPS tracker going to jail for removing device

A man who removed his ankle GPS tracker and fled west before being found in California and returned to Langlade County has been sentenced to spend more time in jail.

Theron D. Harris, 39, of 1215 Neva Road will serve an estimated two years behind bars on counts which include an allegation of theft and violations associated with the state’s sex offender registry program. His sex assault charge stems from a 1997 conviction in Marathon County. Online court records show convictions for three additional sex registry violations between 2005 and 2010.

The latest theft charge dates earlier this year and involves removal of the GPS unit which Harris had been ordered to wear as part of his supervision.
