UO?s James freed without bail | The football player will return to court next month and will wear an electronic surveillance bracelet
A 38-hour jail stay for University of Oregon running back LaMichael James ended Thursday afternoon when the Texas native finalized details of a court-approved release agreement that allowed him to be freed without posting bail.
James, 20, had been behind bars at the Lane County Jail since about 3 a.m. Wednesday, when Springfield police transported him there following his arrest on domestic violence charges. He pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor allegations during a court appearance Wednesday.
Court officials approved James? conditional jail release Wednesday afternoon, but it took another full day before it was determined where he would live until he returns to court next month. In the meantime, he is not allowed to stay at his Springfield apartment, jail Lt. Larry Brown said.
?He was able to find a third party to stay with,? Brown said. He did not identify that person or disclose other requirements of James? release agreement.
James will wear an electronic surveillance bracelet around his ankle to allow police monitoring of his whereabouts.
