The sheriff's department confirms that Austin received his electronic monitor after Judge Christine Van Aken ordered it during a court hearing on Friday.

That's only after she saw video of the attack - which wasn't initially presented in court.

Judge Van Aken also ordered Vincent remain free and under supervision at temporary housing for those in the criminal justice system.
