US EditionFather of Travis Hunter Arrested on Probation Violation
PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 23 – Travis Hunter Sr. was arrested after breaching electronic monitoring for 11 minutes, violating probation tied to 2023 gun and drug charges, and is held without bond in West Palm Beach jail.
- Travis Hunter Sr., the father of NFL rookie and Heisman Trophy recipient Travis Hunter Jr., was taken into custody on July 22 in Palm Beach County for an alleged probation violation.
- The arrest occurred after a warrant was issued on July 10, following an incident on June 28 when Hunter Sr.'s electronic tracking device lost signal for 11 minutes, preventing authorities from accurately monitoring his location during his community control probation.
- Hunter Sr. received a probation sentence lasting three years, with the first year involving strict community control, after being charged with gun and drug offenses in 2023; his lawyer stated that he had complied with all requirements prior to this case.
- In May, Hunter Sr.'s attorney explained that the ankle monitor tracks any unauthorized stops, such as for gas or errands, which would count as a violation, while the judge rejected a request to lessen his sentence to prevent perceived special treatment.
- Hunter Sr. remains in custody without the option of bond as his legal case continues, and his request to alter his sentence to move his probation closer to Jacksonville to support his son was rejected.
