Court records reveal that Lawrence Reed, the suspect in the Chicago train attack, repeatedly violated his electronic monitoring curfew and movement restrictions before the incident. Reed, a 50-year-old man, was placed under electronic monitoring in August following a prior violent offense case and has multiple prior arrests. Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez had denied prosecutors’ request to keep him jailed for the aggravated battery charge, instead ordering him onto electronic monitoring. As a result, Reed’s curfew and movement restrictions were limited to specific windows, including Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. This was in place before the alleged train attack on November 17, in which Reed allegedly set a woman on fire on the CTA Blue Line. Records show that Reed violated these restrictions multiple times, including on November 9, 12–13, 14–15, and 15 again, with additional alerts on the night of November 17, the date of the attack. The violation continued into the early morning hours of November 18, roughly three hours after the incident occurred. Reed was arrested with burns on his hand and in clothing consistent with the suspect in the surveillance footage. The victim, Bethany MaGee, suffered severe burns and remains in critical condition. In April, when the Chief Judge’s Office took over the electronic monitoring program, prosecutors warned that the program was a serious threat to public safety. A spokesperson for the Cook County chief judge’s office refused to comment on Reed’s curfew violations. Prosecutors have also moved to revoke Reed’s pretrial release in the August case based on the new federal terrorism charge, which could result in his detention without bond in the county case. His next court date is set for December 4. In federal court, U.S. District Judge Laura McNally has ordered Reed detained pretrial but has not yet set a next date for the terrorism case.
