The man behind the wheel in a deadly Apple store crash, Bradley Rein, found himself in legal trouble again after authorities say he failed to keep his GPS monitor charged, leading to his capture and a subsequent mental health evaluation order. On December 22, his monitoring device lost power, and despite several attempts by probation officers to reach him via phone and voicemails, he remained elusive until an arrest warrant was executed, reported the Boston Herald.

Rein, 53, who is accused of crashing a Toyota 4Runner into the Hingham Apple Store in November 2022, which resulted in the death of Kevin Bradley and injuries to numerous others had been previously detained for a similar offense in September where he also failed to charge his GPS bracelet leading to his 60-day jail sentence, a condition of his bail was that he keep this monitoring device charged but here he was again, allegedly having allowed the device to deplete its power and once more vanishing into the ether of unlocated spaces, as per court records cited by the Boston Globe.

In response to this violation, Judge William Sullivan of the Plymouth Superior Court deemed it necessary to commit Rein to a 20-day mental health evaluation at a state Department of Mental Health facility. This order came after a bail revocation hearing where a court clinician's evaluation took place.

According to information provided by Beth Stone, a spokesperson for Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz’s office, prosecutors urged the judge to detain Rein without bail during the mental health assessment, and he will remain so until the motion to revoke bail is considered on January 16, 2024, the masslive.com reports.

Rein had initially pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder among other charges relating to the fatal crash, and while he did post a $100,000 bail that April, the conditions of his release strictly required him to wear and maintain a GPS monitor.
