Thomas Markle’s mugshot has been released after he cut off his ankle monitor.
In a booking photo obtained by Page Six and taken on Tuesday, the former television lighting designer, 82, stared down the camera as his photo was taken by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.
He wore what appeared to be an inmate uniform of solid orange.
The father of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was detained the same day after cutting off his ankle monitor days after his arrest for possession of child pornography.
A spokesperson for the US Attorney’s office in Florida told Page Six that Thomas’ “pretrial release was revoked, and he has been detained.”
United States Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli wrote via X, “Four days ago, a federal judge allowed Mr. Markle to remain out of custody pending trial. He was ordered to wear a location monitoring device.”
Essayli alleged that Thomas “cut the bracelet off at 1:45 a.m.” on Monday night, noting that “Release conditions are court orders, not suggestions.”
