“MY MONITOR MUST HAVE MALFUNCTIONED”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, PROSECUTORS SAY AN ALABAMA WOMAN CHARGED IN A DOUBLE-FATAL CRASH WENT UNTRACKED FOR 27 HOURS… AND A JUDGE HAS ORDERED HER HELD WITHOUT BOND.
An Alabama woman charged in a fatal 2023 crash is now being held in custody without bond.
Circuit Judge Thomas Thrash Sr. made the ruling after finding she was not complying with her electronic-monitoring requirements.
The underlying charges stem from a collision that occurred in Hoover.
On Oct. 31, 2023, Tisdale was operating a vehicle that crossed into oncoming traffic, according to police.
Police previously said she was driving under the influence of multiple controlled substances at the time.
Her vehicle struck another automobile.
Teresa Roberts, 64, and George Roberts, 67, were killed at the scene of the crash.
Tisdale was seriously injured in the collision.
A 3-year-old passenger traveling inside her vehicle suffered minor injuries.
Tisdale was subsequently released on bond under specified conditions.
Those terms placed her on home confinement and required active electronic monitoring.

But court records show that Sentinel Offender Services later reported a lapse in her supervision.
The agency reported that Tisdale’s electronic device had not been charged.
The monitoring device remained completely dead for 27 hours.
During that 27-hour period, her whereabouts were reportedly unknown.
Prosecutors said Sentinel attempted to contact Tisdale but was unable to reach her.
The monitoring company was also unable to reach her designated backup contact.
And prosecutors alleged that Tisdale had been repeatedly out of compliance with monitoring requirements.
Her defense attorney suggested the monitoring equipment may have malfunctioned.
Yet Judge Thrash noted there was no report from Sentinel confirming that any malfunction had occurred.
The judge ordered Tisdale to remain held without bond.
He scheduled another review hearing in the case for Sept. 3.
Sentinel is expected to address at that September proceeding whether the device actually malfunctioned.
The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court.
