"I don't think that there's any doubt at all that this guy is the last guy picked on the prison Brain Bowl team," Brauchler said.

Deputy Prosecutor Chelsea Koch said the ankle monitor was present at every one of the alleged burglaries.

"I would say it's a prosecutor's dream to have GPS," Koch said. "That's an excellent piece of evidence to put him at every single burglary at the time it was burglarized."

KCNC-TV said Campbell was on probation for a case involving the attempted theft of a navigation GPS device.
