The troubled father of NFL rookie and 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter has been arrested for violating the terms of his probation — after his court-ordered location monitor lost track of him for 11 minutes, according to authorities.

A warrant was issued for Travis Hunter Sr. on July 10 after his probation officer said authorities briefly lost track of him the night of June 28 when he was “too far away from his monitoring device to be accurately tracked,” according to court documents obtained by USA Today.

The 39-year-old dad, who is on probation related to drug and gun charges from an arrest in November 2023, was taken into custody in Palm Beach, Florida on Tuesday, according to court records. He is being held at the West Palm Beach jail without bond.

Hunter Sr. triggered a “bracelet gone” alarm between 8:07 and 8:18 p.m. on June 28, according to the probation officer’s report.

When contacted by the monitoring center, Hunter Sr. said he was just in his bedroom while the device was in his living room, the docs show. Three days later, he claimed he had misplaced it during the time it went off and was looking for it, USA Today reported.

The probation officer tested the device on July 4 and determined it was working properly. Hunter Sr. told the officer he was “moving too fast and forgot it,” court documents showed.

A judge ruled that he violated the conditions of his probation for failing to submit to electronic monitoring.

Hunter Sr. was initially arrested in 2023 at a traffic stop in Palm Beach County after police discovered the gun and drugs in his car. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 3 years on probation, including one year of house arrest.

He was unable to attend his son’s Heisman Trophy-winning presentation in December in New York, but was granted an exception to attend this year’s NFL draft in Green Bay, where his son, a two-way University of Colorado star, was selected second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
