Montgomery, AL – Indicted casino owner Milton McGregor has dropped his request to get rid of the electronic monitoring bracelet he has to wear.
A federal judge scheduled a hearing on McGregor's request Tuesday, but McGregor's attorney, Joe Espy, withdrew the request at the start of the hearing.
His decision came after he and prosecutors disagreed about whether witnesses could be presented during the hearing.
McGregor had complained that the monitoring device on his right ankle caused him to lose sleep and have higher blood pressure.
He was ordered to wear the ankle bracelet as one of the conditions for being released on bond after he was indicted in October on bribery and conspiracy charges.
