Thomas Markle's legal troubles have taken a dramatic turn after a judge revoked his pre-trial release and ordered him to remain in custody. Meghan Markle's estranged 82-year-old father, who is facing charges of possessing child pornography, was detained after allegedly removing the electronic monitoring tag he had been ordered to wear as part of his bail conditions. Magistrate Judge Lindsay S. Griffin reportedly directed that Markle be held in a corrections facility separate, wherever practicable, from people serving sentences, awaiting sentences or being held pending appeal. The court order also leaves open the possibility of reconsidering his bond if his public defenders can find suitable conditions for his housing.
