I wonder what time Fletcher walked away from his work detail. Also, what was he originally charged with?

3 year probation violation charge.

“Billy Fletcher was a violent offender,” Cole said. “His prior charges included kidnapping, burglary, armed burglary, and assault. This man had no business being outside on a work detail to start with. It’s sickening. It makes me angry.”

No, I think it just means they pinged it and know it is in the area.
