MANSFIELD â A former local man arrested after a manhunt in September was sentenced Thursday to six months in jail for cutting off his GPS bracelet while on probation for domestic assault charges.
Theodore Welsh, 45, now of Somerville, will serve the sentence concurrently with a two-year jail term he is currently serving for violating his probation.
Welsh was apprehended Sept. 29 on a friendâs boat off the coast of Scituate after a search that included officers from Mansfield, Boston and Scituate, the state police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and the Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council.
He had cut off his GPS ankle bracelet in Weymouth shortly after midnight and was missing for 16 hours before he was apprehended, a prosecutor said in Attleboro District Court Thursday.
