Former Rutherford County Sheriff Robert Arnold may be released a year early, not as a “political pardon” but for “good behavior.” He might be in a Tennessee halfway house by this coming May.
Reports indicate that Arnold has been a model prisoner.
Arnold is serving a 4-year sentence at Maxwell Federal Prison Camp outside Montgomery, Alabama.
Officials are beginning the paperwork now, and if approved, the ousted Rutherford County Sheriff could serve his first 6-months of freedom in a halfway house in Tennessee. That could be as soon as 3-months from now. The remaining half-year would be under house arrest.
