I believe it was mentioned in one of the interviews (I'll try to find out which one) where that was mentioned as a concern. Of course, if he posts bond, who knows what would happen.
EDITED: Found this from the Ashley Banfield transcript , it doesn't say that he's being monitored now.
"BANFIELD: So there was this report in March that Crystal called the police. There was a grave concern of hers that Steve was a danger to her,
a danger to the children, and importantly, a danger to himself, as well, in the way that she feared he may be suicidal. That report was lengthy. It
was adjudicated. And there is some thought at this point that he may also have been suicidal around the time of this murder, as well.
HAWTHORNE: Yes, there was talk of it. And we`ve tried to take all those precautions. And I will tell you the time that I have spent with him, I
don`t feel that he is, but we still are taking the precautions to make sure that he is safe himself.
BANFIELD: So without naming, you know, details, fair to say there`s evidence to suggest that.
HAWTHORNE: Well, there is some written evidence. And so because of that, I think it`s only appropriate for me to take those precautions."
